Tuesday's solar eclipse was a "ring of fire" annular eclipse, but only for an uninhabited area of Antarctica. But for observers in Australia, the moon appeared to cover about 65% of the sun, resulting in a striking partial solar eclipse at sunset.

"I felt lucky to view and capture the eclipse this afternoon due to continuous partial cloud cover," photographer CJ Armitage says  after snapping a spectacular view of the eclipsed setting sun.

"Time seemed to stand still during the brief moments of visibility while I wanted in awe of this natural phenomenon.
Tuesday's eclipse of the sun was the first of two solar eclipses of 2014, with the second event occurring on Oct. 23. The October event will be visible primarily from Canada and the United States. The next moon eclipse will be a total lunar eclipse on Oct. 8th!
