 On Thursday, the northern hemisphere witnessed a unique celestial eclipse of the sun.

This event is known as an annular eclipse, as the moon's shadow moves over the sun's disk, but it does not completely block the light emitted by it.

At the height of this eclipse, the moon could be seen transforming the sun, within a short period, into a thin luminous ring like a "circle of fire" in the sky.
