   Explanation: What's rising above the horizon behind those clouds? It's
   the Sun. Most sunrises don't look [6]like this, though, because most
   sunrises don't include the Moon. In the early morning of 2013 May 10,
   however, from [7]Western [8]Australia, the Moon was between the Earth
   and the rising [9]Sun. At times, it would be hard for the
   [10]uninformed to understand what was happening. In an [11]annular
   eclipse, the Moon is too far from the [12]Earth to block the entire
   Sun, and at most leaves a [13]ring of fire where sunlight pours out
   around every edge of the Moon. The [14]featured time-lapse video also
   recorded the eclipse through the high refraction of the [15]Earth's
   atmosphere just above the horizon, making the [16]unusual rising Sun
   and Moon appear also [17]flattened. As the video continues, the Sun
   continues to rise, while the [18]Sun and Moon begin to separate. The
   [19]next annular solar eclipse will occur in less than three weeks. On
   Saturday, October 14, a [20]ring of fire will be visible through clear
   skies from a thin swath crossing both [21]North and South America.
