Annular solar eclipse of June 21, 2039

The Moon passes in front of the Sun while it is too far from the Earth to cover it all: inside a narrow path a ring of sunlight is left around it. Around the path, a much wider part of the world sees a partial eclipse.

Where it is seen

Annular along a path across the Pacific, the Bering Sea, North America, the Arctic, Europe and the Baltic Sea; partial over North America, Europe, Siberia, Greenland and the Arctic.

Protect your eyes

Looking at the Sun without protection damages the eye, eclipsed or not. Use eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose (ISO 12312-2) whenever any part of the Sun is showing; sunglasses are not enough. In this eclipse some of the Sun is showing from start to end, everywhere.
