An annular solar eclipse – now often called a "ring of fire eclipse" – where the “fire” is really the sun’s brilliant surface, shining behind the moon in the far part of its orbit around Earth. Like a total solar eclipse, an annular solar eclipse happens when the new moon (when the Sun and Moon are aligned, with the Sun and Earth on opposite sides of the Moon) moves directly in front of the sun. During a total solar eclipse, the new moon completely covers over the solar disk. During an annular solar eclipse, the lunar disk is too small to totally cover over the sun, so an annulus (in this case the thin ring of the sun’s surface) surrounds the new moon silhouette. The annular solar eclipse is one of only 2 solar eclipses happening in 2020.
The annular solar eclipse began at 12:47 a.m. ET (4:47 UTC) on June 21 and crossed a slim path that started at sunrise in Africa and eventually moved across to China before ending at sunset over the Pacific Ocean. It peaked at 2:40 a.m. ET (6:40 UTC) and ended around 4:32 a.m. ET (8:32 UTC). The partial solar eclipse began at 11:45 p.m. ET (3:45 UTC) on June 20 and ended at 5:34 a.m. ET (9:34 UTC) on June 21.

The annular solar eclipse on June 21, 2020, was visible over Central Africa, the Southern Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan, Northern India and South Central China. It appeared as a partial solar eclipse over most of Asia, Africa, Southern and Eastern Europe, Northern Australia and parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The entire eclipse lasted about 3.75 hours, but its duration as it passed over individual locations was around 1.5 minutes and during its peak it lasted just over 30 seconds.

Please note: viewing any type of solar eclipse requires special eye protection, such as safe solar viewing glasses or special filters for use with telescopes or binoculars.
Both solar and lunar eclipses have inspired many myths and legends from all over the world and throughout time. Early humans and indigenous peoples crafted explanations of this phenomenon that aligned with their own cultural beliefs and stories, but there are also contemporary myths and superstitions that persist. These stories aren’t always about fear and destruction. With a few exceptions they all tend to fall within the same theme — a disruption of the established order.
