Where to Watch the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse at Sunrise

An annular eclipse will start in Canada and end in a remote part of Russia. People in areas of the United States will see a partial eclipse.

If you’re far enough north, the sun will rise like the horns of a bull on the morning of Thursday, June 10. It’s an annular eclipse, also known as a ring of fire eclipse. Think of it as a beacon for the solstice on June 20, which is the astronomical start of summer. The full annular eclipse can be seen only by people living in a few remote places. But if you’re willing to wake up at sunrise in many other places and use proper safety procedures, you’ll get a pretty good view of a partial solar eclipse. On June 10, the ring of fire will be visible across a narrow band in the far northern latitudes, starting near Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada, at sunrise, or 5:55 a.m. Eastern time. It will then cross Greenland, the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole, ending in Siberia at sunset, or 7:29 a.m. Eastern time.
