A gorgeous annular solar eclipse swept across the world on Sunday, visible in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, with cameras clicking to capture the best image possible of the rare eclipse.
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is too far from the Earth to block the sun entirely, leaving a ring of sunlight around the earth. This is how these kinds of eclipses acquire their poetic nickname of “ring of fire.”
Pakistan was one of the few lucky countries to experience the phenomenon, and social media websites were buzzing Sunday with flicks of the rare eclipse.
