Summary: Sky
watchers in Alaska, parts of Canada, most of Europe and Asia enjoyed
a partial eclipse of the Sun on May 31st. In most places the sun appeared
to be a crescent, but from parts of Greenland, Iceland and Scotland the
moon passed directly in front of the sun. From there the sun became
a fiery ring--an annular eclipse. [full
