Solar eclipse 'Ring of Fire' to be visible in NE on Monday
Nagaland Post | IANS | New Delhi, May 19
Skygazers in parts of the world are up for a celestial treat on Monday (May 21) when an annular solar eclipse takes place- a rare event in which the sun will appear as a thin ring behind the moon. However, in India it will only be visible in the northeastern states.
An annual solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun, therefore only a part of the sun gets blocked. Hence the Sun appears like an annulus (ring), surrounding the outline of the Moon.
