Apogee... the Ring of Fire
On Sunday, June 21, the annular solar eclipse will be visible. Unfortunately, it will be visible in Pakistan, India, China and parts of Africa with a partial eclipse in parts of Eastern Europe and Northern Australia.This type of solar eclipse occurs when a new moon is near its farthest point from Earth (called its apogee), forming a straight line with the Earth and the sun. This event occurs once a year.
So, if you are in the area affected and want to witness this phenomena, wear proper eye protection and you will see the rim of the sun around the moon creating the 'Ring of Fire' effect.
Hopefully, I can catch this event on a streaming source like YouTube from the comfort of my home!

However, I think you may want to include the word.....only
Unfortunately, it can only be seen...
It's not unfortunate that others CAN see it.
