The first solar eclipse of 2021 will appear as a “ring of fire” shining from behind a dark circle from some parts of Earth, EarthSky reports.
On the morning of Thursday, June 10, the new moon will pass between the Earth and Sun, causing a solar eclipse, the report said. However, the moon is too far from Earth to fully cover the Sun so its outer rim will not be hidden from view.
Parts of Canada, Greenland, Siberia and the Arctic Ocean will see the annular eclipse, often described as a “ring of fire” eclipse, the report said.
How much of this will people in Michigan be able to see? Maybe not too much. For Michiganders, it will be a partial eclipse with about 80% of the sun’s left side covered by the Moon. The eclipse is set to begin at 4:58 a.m. and end at 5:37 a.m. on June 10 - so just before the official sunrise in some parts of the state.

It is unsafe to look directly at the sun unless you have special eclipse glasses for eye protection.
