Spectacular 'ring of fire' will be visible in parts of Africa and AsiaThe moon moves in front of the sun in a “ring of fire” solar eclipse as seen from Balut Island in the southern Philippines on Dec 26, 2019. (AFP Photo)A partial solar eclipse will be visible in Thailand on Sunday afternoon, while sky-gazers in some other parts of Asia and Africa will be treated to a spectacular “ring of fire” event. The eclipse will be seen first just a few minutes after sunrise local time in northeastern Congo-Brazzaville. “Maximum eclipse”, with a perfect solar halo around the moon, will be reached over Uttarakhand near the border between India and China just after midday local time. Viewers are reminded that even if the day has turned cloudy, viewing a solar eclipse with the naked eye is dangerous.
