Ring Of Fire Eclipse Live Video Stream Viewing

June 20 2020

Summer just began in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun reaches the highest latitude of the year. The next show will be a solar eclipse, but visible on the other side of the planet. We can watch it right here thanks to live video streams.

The ‘Ring Of Fire’ is actually and annular eclipse. This is when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, but does not completely block out the sun. Due to the distance of the moon, 99.4% of the sun will be blocked this time around. This will allow a ring around the edge to be visible, like a ring of fire.

A Solar Eclipse: When the moon passed between the sun and Earth casting a shadow on the planet. This is usually a very narrow band.

Understanding Solar Eclipse Types

Total: Moon completely blocks the sun
Partial: Moon covers part of the sun
Annular: Moon covers the sun, but appears smaller (when farther in orbit).
Hybrid: When the distance is on the edge so some of the path gets an annular and other lucky regions get total coverage.

When is this happening?

11:45 PM the eclipse begins when it is eastern United States. But not much will be able to be seen at the start.

1:00 AM Sun Jun 21, many webcasts begin.

2:40 AM Sun Jun 21 PEAK ECLIPSE.
