Rare ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse seen in Asia and Africa, partially visible in Hong Kong

A “ring of fire” solar eclipse was visible in parts of Asia and Africa on June 21, 2020. People in Hong Kong were only able to see a partial eclipse, as 89 per cent of the sun’s diameter was obscured by the moon. The last “ring of fire” eclipse was visible in the city in 2012, and will not happen again until the year 2685.
