Rare ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse: Dazzling pictures from around the world – CNET [CNET]
The full annular eclipse was visible from parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia throughout Sunday. Northern India experienced a near-full eclipse, with 99.4% of the sun blocked during the peak.
We’ve rounded up some of the best images filtering through the web below. We’ll keep this piece updating with some of the best we find.
Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, nabbed some wonderful images from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, a launching pad for NASA astronauts over the last nine years.
On June 21, a number of Russian regions could witness partial #solareclipse. In 2020 this astronomical event coincided with the summer solstice.
Notably, the ring solar eclipse started at 04:48 UTC in Central Africa with the longest phase visible in the Himalayas for 38 seconds pic.twitter.com/94XsID6SHo
