The annular solar eclipse of June 10, 2021 can be seen in this region

Liputan6.com, D.C – In solar eclipse This first 2021, the Moon will almost completely block the sun, leaving only a fiery ring visible on Thursday 10 June 2021.

Skygazers in only a few places — in parts of Canada, Greenland and northern Russia — will be able to see this fiery ring, also known as an annular eclipse, according to NASA.

However, eclipse the partial sun – when the moon takes up a circular “portion” of the sun – will be visible in more areas of the Northern Hemisphere, including parts of the eastern United States and northern Alaska, much of Canada, and parts of the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and northern Africa, NASA reported as quoted from Live Science, Monday (7/6/2021).

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon shifts between the Earth and the sun, blocking some or almost all of the sun’s light. During an annular eclipse, the moon is far enough from Earth that it is too small to block the entire sun. In contrast, when the moon glides across the sun, the outer edge of the sun is still visible from Earth as the annulus, or ring.

The entire annular solar eclipse will last approximately 100 minutes, starting at sunrise in Ontario, Canada, and traveling north until the time of the largest eclipse, at around 08:41 local time in Greenland (6:41 am EDT; 11:41 GMT), 10 :41 UTC in northern Greenland, and ends at sunset in northeastern Siberia, according to The “ring of fire” phase, when the moon covers 89% of the sun, will last up to 3 minutes and 51 seconds at any point along this path:

Areas that do not fall along the path of the solar eclipse will see a partial eclipse, weather permitting. In these areas, the outer part of the moon, a lighter shadow, known as the penumbra, blocks the sun.

When the moon passes in front of the sun, it will look like this shadow takes a luxurious bite from a bright star. For viewers in the United States, it’s best to watch before, during and shortly after sunrise, depending on your location, especially if you’re in the Southeast, Northeast or Midwest, or in northern Alaska, NASA reports.

In other words, make sure you have a clear view of the horizon as the sun tries to welcome a new day, but some of it may be blocked by the moon.
