Antarctica to Witness 'Ring of Fire' Solar Eclipse, Dazzling Penguins and People

• Antarctica will experience the year's first 'ring of fire' annular solar eclipse, visible only to a select few.
• Astronomer Joe Llama noted that 'The penguins down there are going to have a great show.'
• Partial eclipse views are possible from Chile, Argentina, and parts of southeastern Africa.
• During an annular eclipse, the moon is farther from Earth, leaving a thin sliver of the sun visible.
• Always use ISO 12312-2 compliant eclipse glasses for direct viewing or indirect methods like pinhole projectors.
