The 'Ring of Fire' eclipse will sweep around the globe.

 


On Thursday, the Northern Hemisphere will be treated to a solar eclipse, which will be visible throughout much of the globe.


An annular eclipse is what this phenomenon is known as. The Moon will pass across the face of our star, but it will not entirely block off the light.
Instead, only a sliver of brilliance will remain to glow around the Sun's disc.

The Arctic will provide the most exciting action.
Even though there aren't many people living there, a large chunk of the world will be treated to a partial eclipse in which the Moon looks to bite the Sun.

The eastern United States and northern Alaska, as well as much of Canada, Greenland, and parts of Europe and Asia, will be affected.

In terms of the percentage of the Sun's disc that is covered up, the best site to watch in the UK will be Scotland, specifically Lerwick in the Shetland Islands (11:27 BST) or Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis (11:18 BST)

Around 40% of the Sun will be obscured in these locations.

However, even further south, in London (11:13 BST), 20 percent of the star will be obscured.

 WTC Final: India has performed admirably on international trips and should defeat New Zealand, according to Yuvraj Singh.     Yuvraj Singh, a former all-rounder, believes India should win New Zealand in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final because Virat Kohli's team has done admirably on international trips. India won the WTC rankings with 72.2 PCT after accumulating 520 points to qualify for the finals, while New Zealand came in second with 70 PCT and 420 points, edging out England, who had more points (442) but a lower PCT (61.4). "I think it's a great concept to push Test cricket to the next level; I believe India is quite capable, as seen by their outstanding performances on international tours, including two victories in Australia.

Beijing tells Nato to stop hyping up China threa

China's activities, notably the expansion of its nuclear weapons, have put the "rules-based international order" at jeopardy, according to Nato. It was the first time Nato had put China at the top of its priority list. China responded by stating that its defense policy is "defensive in nature" and urging Nato to "dedicate more of its energies to promote dialogue." In a statement, China's envoy to the European Union said, "Our pursuit of defense and military modernization is justifiable, rational, open, and transparent." It went on to say that Nato should take a "rational" approach to China's development and "avoid using China's legitimate interests and rights as an excuse to influence bloc politics, foment conflict, and fuel geopolitical competition." On Monday, Nato issued a statement at the conclusion of a one-day conference in Brussels. It was Joe Biden's first NATO meeting as President of the United Sta...
