PHOTOS: See astonishing Click2Pins of the eclipse

HOUSTON – We had a ring of fire eclipse on Saturday.

This is an annular solar eclipse. We had not been able to see one of these in Texas since 2012.

Houston only saw a partial eclipse on Saturday, and we weren’t able to see the ring of fire, but it was still be exciting! An annular eclipse happens when the moon moves between the Earth and sun at apogee, or the furthest point in its orbit around the sun.

The distance does not allow the moon to cover the sun all the way, and this is how the ring of fire appears.

KPRC 2 would love to see your photos of the eclipse or of the moment when you and your loved ones saw the eclipse.

Please send us your photos. They could be featured on air and/or online.
