Solar eclipse of June 21, 2020

An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Sunday, June 21, 2020,    with a magnitude of 0.994. An annular solar eclipse is a solar eclipse whose presentation looks like a ring, or annulus; it occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most, but not all, of the Sun's light. In this instance, the Moon's apparent diameter was 0.6% smaller than the Sun's.

Path
The path of this annular eclipse passed through parts of Central and Eastern Africa; southern Arabian Peninsula, including Yemen, Oman, and southern Saudi Arabia; parts of South Asia and the Himalayas, including southern Pakistan, northern India, and Nepal; parts of East Asia, including South China and Taiwan, and part of Micronesia, including Guam. A partial eclipse was visible throughout much of the rest of Africa, southeastern Europe, most of Asia, and in New Guinea and northern Australia just before sunset. In Europe, the partial eclipse was visible to places southeast of the line passing through parts of Italy, Hungary, Ukraine, and southwestern Russia.
