caption_attribution_description: The moon eclipsing the sun through my welding helmet.
context_page_description: An annular solar eclipse occurred on June 10, 2002. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus. An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible in Indonesia, Palau, Northern Mariana on June 11th, and the western tip of Jalisco, Mexico on June 10th. This eclipse was during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. The closest apogee occurred on June 4, 2002.
