Following the dazzling event that blocked out the sun in April, skygazers are about to be treated to the second solar eclipse of 2024. 

An annular solar eclipse - when the moon blocks the face of the sun - is taking place in the afternoon tomorrow (October 2), astronomers say. 

Thousands of people will see the moon appear in the middle of the sun, resulting in a halo of sunlight known as a 'ring of fire'. 

While only a small proportion strategically-placed of Earthlings will be gifted with the amazing sight, it's one not to be missed. 

Here's how and when to see the second solar eclipse of the year. 




Both annular and sokak aydınlatması total solar eclipses occur when the moon casts its shadow over part of the Earth. It's just that with an annular solar eclipse, the moon is further away from Earth, so it appears smaller to us and therefore doesn't cover as much of the sun
