Solar eclipse this year will turn the Sun into a spectacular glowing ring of fire. Lifehacker explained that a solar eclipse is one of the most waited space events where people come together, emptying buildings and spilling out onto the streets. According to CNET's latest report, the full annular eclipse will be visible across parts of Asia and Africa.

The total solar eclipse will only be visible over the southern Arabian Peninsula, central Africa, Northern India, Pakistan, and South Central China. Meanwhile, Asia, South and East Europe, northern Australia, Africa, parts of Indian and Pacific Oceans will only have a partial solar eclipse.
However, if you are located in places where the solar eclipse is visible, safety measures must be taken. Eyes could be damaged when they are used to look directly into the sun at any time of the day. Correct filters used in telescope, binoculars, and cameras must be ensured. Since a new set of international safety regulations came into effect, solar eclipse glasses are no longer considered safe. For more specific safety instructions, you can visit the American Astronomical Society (AAS) website.
