It has been quite the year for phenomenal celestial events. At the heels of Blood Moon -Occurred on May 26th- the world is gearing up to witness yet another cosmic event that is quite rare and spectacular to behold. The Solar Eclipse set to occur on June 10th, is not merely any run-of-the-mill solar eclipse but a celestial phenomenon that is quite breath-taking in its perception. This no-ordinary solar eclipse will be visible as a partial eclipse in many parts of the world. however, a select few fortunate countries will bear witness to an annular solar eclipse that occurs when the Moon covers the centre of the sun, leaving an outer rim of the sun perceptible to the human eyes. This bears quite an uncanny resemblance to a Ring of Fire. Ergo, why that particular colloquialism - The Ring of Fire - is clubbed while waxing scientific about an annular solar eclipse. In this article, we will tell you where you can view this celestial event.
