'Ring of fire' solar eclipse 2021: How and when to watch Thursday - CNET
Jun 08, 2021 38 secs

On the morning of June 10, the darkened new moon will slide in front of the sun, resulting in a partial solar eclipse visible from big swaths of North America and Europe.

The scientific name for this is an annular solar eclipse, which is a bit different from a total solar eclipse -- when the moon is at the right distance from Earth to completely cover the sun.

A total solar eclipse put on a big show in North America in 2017, and we'll get another one in 2024.

The good news for millions of others is that a partial eclipse will still be visible for a period of time from northern and eastern stretches of North America and much of Europe.

The path of the June 10 annular solar eclipse.
