Ring of Fire eclipse: what we saw as it happened

The Ring of Fire eclipse gracing our skies. Here’s how the country saw it.


WE know the sun commands place at the centre of our Solar System but today it was also the centre of our attention as the Ring of Fire eclipse took place over Australian skies.


One of only a handful of places on Earth to see the event, sky gazers across Australia were given a partial view of a celestial event that transformed the sun. Sadly, only a remote part of Antarctica got the full view of the spectacle where as we saw only a partial covering. Still, it was pretty amazing.


As the moon slowly creeped into position to nibble away at the sun from 0600 (GMT) here’s what the country saw as it unfolded:
