From supermoons to meteor showers, this year's night sky has not disappointed. This weekend, another stunning celestial event is occurring: a 'ring of fire' annular solar eclipse will be visible.
So what exactly is that? This type of solar eclipse occurs when a new moon is near its farthest point from Earth , forming a straight line with the Earth and the sun—an event that occurs once a year. When the moon is at its apogee, it partially covers the sun. Since the sun's outer rim remains visible, though, the sunshine appearing around the moon creates a stunning ring of fire effect. According to, this weekend's new moon will block 99.
On Sunday, June 21, the annular solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Africa, Pakistan, India, and China, according to. Skywatchers in this area will be able to see the ring of fire. In south and east Europe and north Australia, a partial eclipse will be visible.
