Australia's Ring of Fire!

On Friday, May 10, while Americans were looking forward to getting gifts for Mother's day, Australia was able to witness an extraordinary sight. Australians were lucky enough to experience a second solar eclipse in a period of 6 months. The phenomenon is known as a "ring of fire eclipse", leaving only a small circle of light visible. The previous eclipse was a total complete blackout of the sun which is known as a "total solar eclipse". Australia had shared pictures through google+ and other social networks that day, having #solareclipse go into the top 5 most talked about topics on Google +.
