On June 10th an unusual partial eclipse of the Sun will be visible for some parts of the U.S. and Canada at sunrise. This will show up as a glowing Ring of Fire.  The annular eclipse will only be visible from a fraction of a second to about 12 minutes. In 2020, the solar eclipse lasted just under a minute and a half.

If you happen to be on the centerline of the polar region, the eclipse will last almost 4 minutes. 

Skywatchers can see the phenomenon South and West of a line running from Edmonton and Alberta, Canada to Des Moines, Iowa, south through Savannah, Georgia. But since the eclipse ends before sunrise, most of the southern and western United States will miss this solar light show. 

Early on the morning of June 10, an unusual solar event will be appearing to people living around the Great Lakes region, east across New York state, New England, and a large portion of southeast Canada.

 

Actually, Canadians will get some of the best views of the Ring of Fire Eclipse. And due to the COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions, Americans can’t cross the border between the U.S. and Canada to observe the eclipse.
