The next solar eclipse is set to take place on April 29.
While it will appear like a ring of fire among some areas, to most of the world it will be invisible.
Solar eclipses only happen during a new moon, and the eclipse on April 29 is an “annular” eclipse, which means that the moon is close to its farthest distance from the Earth, making it too small to cover the sun completely. That makes the sun appear like a ring of fire.
However, apart from Australia and parts of Indonesia, most of the world won’t be able to see it. The best view of the elipse will be from Tasmania around 4 p.m. local time.
The solar eclipse after this will be on October 23 and will be visible from Canada and the United States.
Those are the only two solar eclipses remaining this year.
