14 DAY TRIAL // If you're lucky enough to live in Australia, or anywhere in South Pacific, you're in for a treat today, a "ring of fire" eclipse. You'll have to get up pretty early in Australia to see it, but it should be a treat.
Because the moon is almost as far away from Earth as it gets, it will appear smaller than the sun when it passes in front of it. This means it won't block the sun entirely, leaving a ring of light around it.
The full eclipse will last only 6 minutes and 3 seconds, but the entire process will take a few hours, so it's going to be hard to miss.
It starts at 21:25 UTC May 9 (that's 07:25 in Sydney), depending on where you are, with the greatest eclipse, i.e. the biggest area of the Earth covered, at 0:26 UTC May 10. It's only visible in some parts of the Southern Hemisphere, so you'll only be seeing it on YouTube if you live elsewhere.
