Solar eclipse of June 10, 2021


An annular solar eclipse will occur on Thursday, June 10, 2021. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus. An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide.
This eclipse is notable for the fact that the path of annularity will pass over North Pole, it's the only such eclipse in 21st century.
While the eclipse is visible primarily in northern Canada, in Greenland and in north-east of Russian Far East, in the northeastern United States and Canada, the sun will be partially eclipsed at sunrise, which will be between 5 and 6 A.M.
