'Ring of fire' solar eclipse seen from the Philippines

Footage shows the glowing red 'ring of fire' solar eclipse as seen from Valenzuela City in Manila, the Philippines on June 21.

The eclipse was visible from a narrow band stretching from west Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, India and the Far East .

Eclipses happen once every year or two years when the Moon passed between Earth and the Sunset but is not close enough to completely obscure sunlight, leaving a thin ring of the solar disc visible.
