The world of eclipse eclipse glows with a circle of fire

Astronomers will have the opportunity to see the annular eclipse, also known as the fire circle this weekend in some areas in the southern hemisphere.

The annular eclipse , or Ring of Fire , will appear in South America, southern Africa and parts of the Atlantic Ocean on February 26, according to Phys.org.

Solar eclipse will start at 19 hours 10 minutes in Vietnam time. The most obvious area for people to see this phenomenon is a narrow strip of 100km width, cut across the countries of Chile, Argentina, Angola, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Vietnam is not in the area to observe this phenomenon.

"About 90% of the Sun's area is covered. You will notice a sharp decrease in temperature and brightness. When the Moon is in the center of the Sun, it creates a perfectly symmetrical light circle. beautiful, " said Terry Moseley, a member of the Irish Astronomical Society.

Moseley recommends that people should not observe the solar eclipse directly with the naked eye, but should wear protective glasses. Although the Moon covers most of the sunlight, the emitted radiation is still strong enough to burn the retina.

The real moon occurs during the new moon, when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, and the Moon's hidden part turns towards the Earth. In the case of a total solar eclipse, the Moon's orbital motion is right in front of the Sun and blocks all the light emitted from the Sun.

In the case of a solar eclipse, the Moon still passes before the Sun. Due to the elliptical orbit, the Earth is located very close to the Sun while the Moon is at a point far from the Earth. The Moon and Sun are in concentric circles, but the Moon is much smaller so it cannot cover the Sun when viewed from Earth. The result of the "fire circle" glows in the sky.
