The annual Solar eclipse will be visible on June 10. According to NASA, not everyone will be able to see this rare cosmic phenomenon as it will visible from some parts of the globe.

It appears when the Moon passes between Earth and the sun. The Moon does not block the entire view of the Sun, forming a ‘Ring of Fire.’

NASA published an interactive map that shows the path of the 2021 solar eclipse across Earth’s surface. The map reveals that solar eclipse will be visible in India, but only from Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. People who are based in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh will start witnessing the solar eclipse at 12:25. They will be able to see a partial solar eclipse and this celestial event will last until 12:51 for them.

Viewers in parts of the eastern United States, northern Alaska, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and northern Africa will be able to see a partial solar eclipse on June 10.

In many of these locations, the eclipse will occur before, during, and shortly after sunrise, i.e it will start at 01:42 PM (IST) and will last until 06:41 PM (IST).
