Thursday's eclipse was called the “ring of fire” because the moon only partially blocked out the sun, forming a red ring.
A “ring of fire” solar eclipse illuminated the sky on Thursday and quickly became a trending topic on social media.
The “ring of fire” eclipse is visible when the moon is at its farthest point from Earth and appears smaller, according to Space.com. The moon doesn’t completely block out the sun when it’s right in front of it.
