The first solar eclipse of the year will be visible over the weekend, and for a lucky few South Americans and Africans it will be something special, APA reports quoting sputniknews.
The Sunday eclipse will be annular, meaning that during the celestial event the Sun will be visible from behind the moon. This will cause the Sun to appear to some skywatchers as a fiery ring encircling the moon.
The strip where the "ring of fire" will be visible is some 8,500 miles long and about about 45 miles wide, but it mostly passes over water. It will, however, be visible in parts of Chile and Argentina, before crossing the Atlantic and showing itself in Angola, Zambia and the Congo. It will be visible between noon and 4 p.m. GMT, in some places for less than a minute.
