The first of these will be an annular solar eclipse – often referred to as a “Ring of Fire” – that will happen on June 21, right after the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

As its name suggests, the Ring of Fire is easily the most exciting of the different varieties of eclipse. Annular eclipses happen when the moon is farthest from Earth. Because the moon is so distant from our planet, it seems much smaller and doesn’t block the entire view of the sun. Instead, the moon darkens our skies while becoming surrounded by a brilliant bright circle created by the sun.

The path of totality – or the maximum phase of a total eclipse during which the lunar disk covers the sun – will go through Central Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, South Asia, China, Taiwan, and then concluding in the Southwest Pacific, as this nifty map from NASA shows.

A partial Eclipse will be visible across most of the African continent, as well as Asia, Southern and Eastern Europe, and Northern Australia.

The eclipse begins at dawn in Eastern Africa (June 21, 03:45 a.m. GMT) with totality kicking off an hour later. The totality will last roughly four hours as the moon’s shadow moves across the earth’s surface, before finally ending in the South Pacific at 08:32:17 GMT.

Of course, while annular eclipses are extremely tempting to look at, it can’t be stressed enough that people should NEVER look at the sun during any type of solar eclipse! While the sun isn’t more damaging to your eyes than on any other day, the fact that the moon offers partial covering will make it far easier to look at the sun.

And because your retinas lack pain fibers and they also can’t heal themselves, looking at an eclipse for any length of time could threaten permanent, irreversible damage to your eyes.

Instead, you’ll want to use eclipse glasses as you watch the event. Likewise, filters for cameras, binoculars, and telescopes can help you catch a great glimpse of the astronomical phenomenon without suffering irreversibly blurry vision.

However, an Ohio optometrist has warned that watching a solar eclipse is generally a bad idea unless one does it “perfectly.” A few years ago, Dr. Michael Schechter wrote in a viral Facebook post that “there are serious risks associated with viewing a solar eclipse directly, even when using solar filter glasses” – and the warning still holds just as true today.

 “For instance, many solar eclipse glasses are made for adults, do not fit children well and should not be used without direct parental supervision,” Schecter wrote. If the solar glasses do not filter out 100% of the harmful UV rays, if they are not used absolutely perfectly, or should there be a manufacturing defect in any of them, this will result in permanent and irreversible vision loss for any eye exposed.

“Just like sunburn to the skin, the effects are not felt or noticed immediately. I have a great fear that I will have patients in my office … who woke up with hazy, blurry vision that I cannot fix,” he added. “One failure, just one, where education and supervision fail, will have such a devastating consequence. Please, please be safe, or watch it on television if you do not have proper protection.”

After this coming annular eclipse, the next one will happen a year from now on June 10, 2021, when people across Ontario, Quebec, Greenland, the North Pole, and Chukotka in Northeastern Russia will have a chance to check out the Ring of Fire. The next total solar eclipse occurs on December 15, 2020, and will be visible throughout South America.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
