A partial solar eclipse, which will see the moon completely block out the sun except for a 'ring of fire' around the moon's edge, is set to offer a spectacular site for observers on May 21. The eclipse will occur in the late afternoon or early evening of May 20 throughout the continent of North America while in Asia the date gets switched to May 21. However, the other parts of the United States and Canada will be able to see only a partial solar eclipse, without being treated to the ring of fire effect. The East Coast will miss the event since the sun will have set before the eclipse begins. The event known as an annular solar eclipse originating from the Latin "annulus," meaning "little ring" should be visible in its full glory from much of Asia, the Pacific region and some of western North America, provided the weather stays clear.
