The annular solar eclipse seen from Reunion Island – euronews

on the French island of Reunion, thousands of people have enjoyed the first annular eclipse of the sun this summer.

the so-called “ring of fire” occurs when the moon is so far from Earth that is not able to completely cover the sun, as happens in a Total eclipse.

“It helps me understand a little better the universe. I think we’re not alone, “says this young man.

Although from the Earth is only visible for three minutes, some have not hesitated to travel here to enjoy the show. “This is my solar eclipse number 64, so I am very familiar with this phenomenon. We travel to places where there is good weather forecasts. It is the case of Reunion, where it has been very well “says this man.

This eclipse was also visible in tropical regions of southern Africa and Madagascar. Canary has been the only point of Spain that has enjoyed this celestial spectacle.
