However, it is not really a solar eclipse, but an annular eclipse.

Google told me this:

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and Sun, but does not completely cover the Sun's disk. Instead, it covers most of the Sun, leaving its outer edge visible as a bright ring or “annulus” around the darkened Moon.

It is still very beautiful.
