A typical solar eclipse is a phenomenon in which the moon obscures the Taeyang. At this time, the Taeyang is not completely covered, and the outer edge of the Taeyang that is slightly visible appears like a "ring of fire." In June 2012, a "Venus transit" occurred, where Venus took the place of the moon and obscured the Taeyang. This photo was captured using ultraviolet light in three colors by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) solar dynamics observatory, which orbits the Earth. A few hours later, as Venus continued its orbit, a crescent shape reappeared. The phenomenon of Venus passing in front of the Taeyang is expected to occur again in 2117.
