For an annular eclipse to happen, the Moon has to be at its farthest distance from the Earth, so that it doesn't quite cover up the Sun. That's why this kind of eclipse is so rare.
Special glasses protect the eyes from the bright light of the sun and should always be worn when watching an eclipse.

An annular eclipse is where the moon passes in front of the sun, leaving just a ring of light visible. Annular means 'ring-shaped'.
