Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Ring Solar Eclipse (GMC) which will occur on June 10 is expected to last for 100 minutes, while the peak stage, called the ring of fire (ring of fire) only lasts a maximum of 3 minutes 51 seconds.
GMC occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun in a straight line. This formation creates a shadow of the Moon on Earth and partially covers the Sun’s rays.
In the GMC phenomenon, the Moon is in a position far from Earth so it looks smaller than the Sun.
At that position the Moon does not completely cover the Sun, the part that is not covered is in the outer circle which when viewed from Earth looks like a ring of fire.
According to LAPAN, GMC can only be seen on Ellesmere and Baffin Islands (Canada) and the Siberian Region (Russia) with maximum visibility occurring at 17.43.05 WIB / 18.43.05 WITA / 19.43.05 WIT.
Meanwhile, regions such as Greenland, Iceland, Europe, Russia, Central Asian countries and western China can witness the Partial Solar Eclipse.
The GMC phenomenon will begin at sunrise in Ontario, then the eclipse process will cross the northern part of the Earth. On the way, the peak of the eclipse occurred at noon local in northern Greenland.
After that, the ring eclipse path covers the Earth’s North Pole, and ends at sunset in northeastern Siberia.
BMKG said that there are two kinds of moon shadows that are formed during an annular solar eclipse, namely the antumbra and penumbra. In the region past the antumbra, the observed eclipse will be an annular solar eclipse, while in the region affected by the penumbra, the observed eclipse will be a partial solar eclipse.
The following is a simulation of the annular solar eclipse on June 10 made by NASA.
