Annular Eclipse of Sun 21st January 1292 seen from China

Chiih-yuan-period, 29th year, the first month, day chia-wu.

The Sun was eclipsed, a darkness invaded the Sun, which was not totally covered. It was like a golden ring. There were vapors like golden earrings on the left and right and a vapor like a halo surrounding it. This refers to the annular eclipse of 21st January 1292. The halo is caused by ice crystals in the Earth’s atmosphere.
