- 4 years ago
Footage shows the glowing red 'ring of fire' solar eclipse as seen from Valenzuela City in Manila, the Philippines on June 21.
The eclipse was visible from a narrow band stretching from west Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, India and the Far East .
Eclipses happen once every year or two years when the Moon passed between Earth and the Sunset but is not close enough to completely obscure sunlight, leaving a thin ring of the solar disc visible.
