Well this is awesome! I always wanted to get into this more and have a telescope but space is so fascinating!
- A rare solar eclipse will be taking place this weekend - although you likely won't be able to see it.
- The Annular Solar Eclipse will create a 'ring of fire' effect, as the moon blocks out 99.4% of the sun, leaving only a faint circle of the outer rim visible.
- The June 21st eclipse will only be visible in parts of Africa, Pakistan, India, and China. But the rest of us can watch it via a YouTube livestream, with the eclipse taking place at roughly 1am EST Sunday morning.
