Sadly, Americans who would like to position themselves within the path of annularity will not be able to do so, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearer the edge of the path, the duration will be shorter, and the ring will look lopsided, with one side wider than the other. Near the point of greatest eclipse over the polar region, the annular phase will last up to 3 minutes and 51 seconds if you are on the centerline.

Skywatchers in much of central and eastern North America, as well as parts of Europe and Africa, will be able to enjoy this event as a partial solar eclipse the full “ring of fire” effect will be limited to a narrow slice of land in central and eastern Canada. A clear sky should turn deep blue and the landscape an odd silvery hue.Įclipse cartographer Michael Zeiler created this detailed visibility map for the Jannular solar eclipse. The quality of the light, however, may become unearthly. The illumination will be no darker than on a bright overcast day. The ring will shine with only one-tenth of the sun's normal total light, but this is less of a change than it sounds, since the eye adapts readily to changing light levels. Locations within the path include the communities of Marathon, Longlac and Geraldton, where the annular phase will commence just a few scant minutes after sunup. Because the eclipse track passes mostly over the boreal forests of the Canadian Shield and Canadian Arctic tundra, probably the best places to see the eclipse will be in Northwest Ontario. If you snap a photo of the 2021 annular solar eclipse let us know! You can send images and comments to path of annularity begins along the northernmost shoreline of Lake Superior, where lucky skywatchers with clear skies will see the rising sun morph from an upturned horseshoe with pointed tips into a "ring of fire" for about 3.5 minutes.
