Solar eclipse 2021: The top of the world got a sunrise special on Thursday – a "ring of fire" solar eclipse. This so-called annular eclipse began at the Canadian province of Ontario, then swept across Greenland, the North Pole and finally Siberia, as the moon passed directly in front of the sun. Let us take a look at some of stunning pictures of Solar eclipse 2021 from across the world: -

The upper portions of North America, Europe and Asia enjoyed a partial eclipse, at least where the skies were clear. At those locations, the moon appeared to take a bite out of the sun. (AP Photo)
