The rare event will leave a bright, blazing border as the moon lines up between the Earth and the sun.
A partial solar eclipse of the sun, the first stage of a rare “ring of fire” eclipse that is expected to cut across the Americas, has begun to emerge.
Unlike a total solar eclipse, the moon does not completely cover the sun during a ring of fire eclipse. When the moon lines up between the Earth and the sun, it leaves a bright, blazing border. “It seems like one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard of,” he said of the annular eclipse. “I want to see every type of eclipse possible one day. That’s my goal.”
Next: Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Brazil. Much of the rest of the Western Hemisphere gets a partial eclipse. “I just think it’s one of those things that unites us all,” said John Edwards, a cancer drug developer who travelled alone across the country to try to watch the eclipse from Bryce Canyon. “I just think it’s seeing these unique experiences that come rarely is what got me here. This is about as rare as it gets.”Viewing all depends on clear skies – part of the US path could see clouds. Nasa and other groups plan to livestream the event.
