The annular solar eclipse was seen across much of Asia and West Africa.

亚洲和西非大部分地区都可以观测到日环食。

The one that will happen on October 14 is called an " annular solar eclipse."

10月14日发生的日食被称为“日环食”。

They advise using safe viewing glasses for the sun or a safe handheld viewer for the sun at all times during an annular solar eclipse.

他们建议在日环食期间始终使用安全的太阳观测眼镜或安全的手持太阳观测仪。

Because the moon is farther than usual from Earth during an annular solar eclipse, the moon will not completely cover the sun like a " total eclipse."

由于在日环食期间，月球离地球的距离比平时更远，所以月球不会像“日全食”那样完全覆盖太阳。

Because the sun is never fully blocked by the moon in an annular solar eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at it without such eye protection.

因为在日环食中，太阳永远不会被月亮完全挡住，所以如果不戴护眼设备，直视太阳是不安全的。

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon only blocks some of the Sun while an annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon covers all but a small ring of the Sun.

当月球只遮住太阳的一部分时，就会发生日偏食；而当月球遮住太阳大部分只留出一个小圈时，就会发生日环食。
