 Solar eclipse known as the "Ring of Fire" may be seen radiating over the sky of the United States

Many diverse locations, including Oregon, Honduras, Utah, and New Mexico, saw the eclipse's exceptional and stunning vistas.

In portions of Northern and Southern America on Saturday, the sun looked like a brilliant ring. When the moon is between the sun and the earth, solar eclipses take place.

An annular solar eclipse, also known as a partial eclipse, takes place when the moon is at its apogee, the distance from Earth at when it is at its farthest point in its orbit.

Such eclipses cause the whole landscape to darken. Scientists claim that in the past, when this happened, bees would return to their hives, turtles would come out of the water, and crickets would begin to chirp.

These are very uncommon occurrences, and the next annular solar eclipse over the United States won't happen until 2046.

The eclipse was visible from Padre Island, Texas, about noon to Oregon, starting at 9 a.m., covering nine states in the United States.

In most locations along the path of the eclipse, full annularity lasted two to three minutes, however Albuquerque observed over five minutes.

The eclipse was visible in parts of Central and South America as well.

Only a partial eclipse, subject to clouds, may be seen in North America and South America beyond the straight path.

On its X (Formerly Twitter) account, NASA posted the first images of the eclipse with the comment, "We're receiving our first pictures of the "ring of fire"!

Here is a view of the annular solar eclipse as seen from Albuquerque, New Mexico, during which the Moon partially (but not entirely) blocks out the Sun.

Some Americans attempted to witness the dazzling sight with the use of improvised gadgets as it is not suggested to watch the eclipse with the unaided eye.

Linna Winna, an X user, shared a picture of the eclipse that they saw using a DIY gadget. The picture's caption said, "View from Stanford with makeshift device."

"Safe, scientific, and super awesome," NASA said in response to the article. We adore seeing it!"
