Time lapse shows rare solar eclipse darken Philippines on the summer solstice

Lucky skywatchers in certain parts of the globe have today (June 21st) been treated to a dramatic solar eclipse.

This time lapse clip was filmed in the Philippines at around 1 pm local time today.

The phenomenon is called an annular eclipse or ring of fire where the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, leaving just a thin ring of light visible.
