En Asia, millones admiran el eclipse solar anular

Millones de personas en toda Asia fueron testigos el lunes 21 de mayo de un eclipse anular, maravillándose del extraño espectáculo de un ‘anillo de fuego’ cruzando los cielos. El eclipse anular solar, en el que la Luna pasa por delante del Sol, pero dejando ver sólo un anillo dorado alrededor de sus bordes, comenzó a ser visible en amplias zonas de todo el continente asiático el lunes por la mañana.
