Solar eclipse 2020 live: Follow rare 'annular' event as it passes over 12 countries | The Independent
The arrival of the 2020 Summer Solstice coincides with a rare type of annular solar eclipse on Sunday.
The Moon's distance from the Earth means that it will not completely block out the Sun, creating what some astronomers refer to as a "ring of fire".
The path of totality when the Earth, Moon and Sun are perfectly aligned passes from west to east over 12 countries on 21 June.
