Eclipse 2021: Where will the 'circle of fire' be seen in the sky?

Thursday is the time for a celestial show when the northern half of the planet will see an eclipse.

This particular occasion will have an annual eclipse, meaning that the moon will pass between the earth and the sun but will not completely block its light.

Instead, a thin halo of light will form around the sun.

The best place to see it would be the Arctic region in the north of the world.

Not many people live there, but a large part of the world will see at least a partial eclipse. This scene will be like the moon cutting the sun.

Great places to see would be parts of Europe and Asia, including East America, North Alaska, much of Canada, and Greenland.

The place in the UK where most of the sun will be hidden is the region of Scotland. These places will cover about 40% of the sun, while a little more south, like London, will cover 20% of the sun.

And as always, the suggestion in this regard is not to look directly at the sun without any protection, as it can cause serious damage to your eyes.

In addition, many astronomy clubs are holding events to tell people how to safely observe an eclipse.

The BBC Sky Eight Night and the Royal Astronomical Society also offer good advice.

The lunar annulus path where the moon will be fully visible in the shape of the sun will be visible in Canada at 9:49 a.m. local time as the sun rises.

This route will then pass over the North Pole and reach the Far East of Russia.

The place where the eclipse will be visible for the longest time is the Norse Strait, which lies between Canada and Greenland. The eclipse will last for four minutes.

But if you want to know its duration and time in your area, there are many websites on the internet like this website.

Not every eclipse can be a complete eclipse. The moon's orbit around the earth is not exactly round. At different places, the distance of the moon from the earth is in the range of three and a half million kilometers to more than four million kilometers.

Because of this, the moon can look up to 13% different in volume.

When the moon is close to the earth and the sun is eclipsed, the moon blocks it completely, but when the moon is in its orbit a little farther from the earth, it can only partially cover the sun.
