Viewers in some parts of Canada, as well as Greenland and northern Russia, were able to see the appearance of a „ring of fire“ around the moon on Thursday.
Several mesmerizing videos capturing Thursday’s „ring of fire“ solar eclipse have been shared on social media, including one from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada shared by Storyful on YouTube. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and our planet, creating a shadow on Earth. The full eclipse demonstrating a „ring of fire“ could be seen in some parts of Canada, as well as Greenland and northern Russia. The latest footage, captured by Luc Boulard at the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s Sudbury Centre, showed a partial eclipse, with a glowing crescent-shaped sun burning brightly as it appears to grow larger against a pitch-black sky. A partial eclipse occurs „when the sun, moon, and Earth are not exactly lined up.
