Residents of Asia Saw a "Ring of Fire" in the Sky (Photos, Video)
They witnessed an annular solar eclipse, the last one this year.
On December 26, the last solar eclipse of 2019 took place. It could be observed by residents of Asia, with the maximum phase visible on the Arabian Peninsula, in India and Indonesia.
This type of eclipse is called the "ring of fire" because the Moon covers the center of the Sun but leaves a bright ring of light visible.
Usually, Earth experiences 2 solar eclipses a year. The previous one was on July 2, but it was only visible over South America.
The next total solar eclipse will occur on December 14, 2020. It will be visible in southern Chile and Argentina, as well as in southwestern Africa and from Antarctica.
Earlier, scientists found the first planet with water and probable conditions for life outside the Solar System.
