From Paris to New York, images of the annular and partial solar eclipse

2021-06-11T03:12:51.711Z


Part of the northern hemisphere was able to watch, with protective glasses, this phenomenon which covered up to 90% of the visible surface.


Residents of the northern hemisphere were able to observe an annular solar eclipse on Thursday.

It was visible from Canada to Siberia, via Europe, where it was only partial.

At the height of this eclipse, the Terrans saw the Moon slowly glide past the Sun to transform it for a few minutes into a thin ring of light, like a "ring of fire" in the June sky. An annular eclipse is different from a total eclipse. In the case of a total eclipse, the Sun disappears completely behind the Moon; with an annular eclipse, the Moon is too far from Earth for the Sun to be visually completely covered from Earth when the Moon comes between them. During an annular eclipse, a corona of light from the Sun persists around the Moon.

During Thursday's eclipse, up to 90% of the Sun's surface was covered by the Moon.

This show was reserved for the few inhabitants of the highest latitudes, who are right in the axis: North-West of Canada, far-North of Russia, North-West of Greenland and North Pole.

This eclipse was partial in northwestern North America, much of Europe, including France and the United Kingdom, as well as part of northern Asia.
