Solar eclipse of June 10, 2021
Annular solar eclipse / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Thursday, June 10, 2021,[1][2][3] with a magnitude of 0.9435. An annular solar eclipse is a solar eclipse whose presentation looks like a ring, or annulus; it occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most, but not all, of the Sun's light. The annular eclipse was visible from parts of northeastern Canada, Greenland, the Arctic Ocean (passing over the North Pole),[4] and the Russian Far East, whilst the eclipse appeared partial from a region thousands of kilometres wide, which included northeastern North America, most of Europe, and northern Asia.[5]
