The first solar eclipse of 2014 will take place early Tuesday morning which will see the sun turn into a "ring of fire"

The annular solar eclipse on April 29 will see the moon farthest away from Earth, meaning the moon will be smaller, creating a ring of fire, called the annulus, when it passes between Earth and the Sun.

The partial solar eclipse will take place at 2 a.m. ET, but unfortunately, stargazers in America will not have the best view.

Those living Down Under will have the best view - in Sydney, the eclipse will begin at 4.14 p.m. local time. The eclipse will also be visbible in Tasmania.

A filter should be used to safely view the solar eclipse and viewers must never look directly at the sun. In a partial solar eclipse, the sun will still be visible outside the moon, so viewing it protection will cause potential severe damage to the eyes.

The solar eclipse will be available to view online via live stream via webcast videos provided by Slooh Community Telescope available in the Youtube Video below  and The Virtual Telescope Project,

The Slooh webcast will be held by observatory director Paul Cox and Geoff Fox.
