New Delhi, Feb. 17 -- The Solar eclipse 2026, in the form of the Ring of Fire, is taking place on 17 February. In this type of eclipse, the Moon covers the centre of the Sun but leaves a bright circular ring visible.

However, this rare event cannot be seen from India, the United Kingdom or the United States. It is because the eclipse path lies far in the Southern Hemisphere, mainly over Antarctica.

In these regions (India, the US and the UK), the Sun is below the horizon during the event. People who wish to watch it can still follow live online coverage.

NASA is streaming the eclipse in high definition on its official YouTube channel and website. TimeandDate is also offering an interactive map and live broadcast for real-time viewing....
