Watch a "ring of fire" around the Moon
The New Moon covered the Sun's center, leaving its outer edges to form the characteristic annulus or “ring of fire” during this rare solstice annular solar eclipse.
In many time zones, it took place on the same day as the June solstice. This coincidence of an annular solar eclipse on the same day as the June solstice will only happen once again this century: on June 21, 2039.

We are signing off!
It is time for us to pack up our studio and get back home to catch up on some zzzs. Our team was here at the crack of dawn and had so much fun doing this. I hope you also enjoyed following the eclipse with us! The eclipse isn't over yet, so feel free to stay with us until we end the live stream. And please keep those eclipse pictures coming so that they can be featured in our photo gallery. Ha det, as we say in Norwegian.

Time to bid adieu to the “ring of fire”
At this moment, the last location on Earth, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, is seeing the final moments of annularity. The partial eclipse ends in just less than an hour. The next annular eclipse will be less than a year from now, on June 10, 2021.

Goodbye Taiwan!
Sanxiantai in Taiwan is one of the last land locations to see the full eclipse today. The rest of the path lies over the Pacific Ocean.
