Solar Eclipse 2021 TODAY: Date, time, live stream link to view 'Surya Grahan', Ring of Fire and other details

The first Solar Eclipse of the year 2021 will occur on Thursday (June 10). NASA in a map has revealed the parts of the world the solar eclipse will be visible from. According to the US space research agency, the Solar Eclipse will be visible to people across the northern hemisphere. However, not all people in India except those in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh will be able to witness it. 

The cosmic phenomenon occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in the same line and the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun, blocking the view of the Sun, but not entirely as the moon revolves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. This covering by the moon renders a ‘ring of fire’ image to the Sun.
