The Northern Territory town of Tennant Creek is in the grip of eclipse fever, with astronomers from across the globe arriving to watch a rare annular eclipse. Tomorrow, the moon will move across the sun and, for a few minutes after 8:00am Central Standard Time, an aptly named "ring of fire" will be visible.

Astronomer Melissa Hulbert says only people in and around Tennant Creek, about 1,000 kilometres south of Darwin, will see the full spectacle.
