An annular solar eclipse, dubbed the "Ring of Fire" eclipse, is set to occur on February 17, 2026. This event happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun but doesn't completely block it, leaving a visible ring of sunlight. The clearest view will be from Antarctica, with partial visibility in parts of South America and southern Africa. India will not see the eclipse and must rely on online streams. Safe viewing requires special eclipse glasses or certified filters to prevent eye damage.
