Photos Of The Day: “Ring Of Fire”

A solar eclipse occurred early this morning as the moon pass in front of the sun. It’s an illusion referred to as a “ring of fire.” Space.com says it was in full effect in northern Canada, Greenland, and the Arctic.

NASA says in the United States, the partial eclipse was visible in parts of the Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, and in Northern Alaska. While different eclipses occur often, most of these areas haven’t seen a Sunrise eclipse like this since 1959. The next time it will happen is reportedly 2079.

Some of the pictures captured were extraordinary.
