A partial eclipse was visible from Saudi Arabia to Alaska with Iceland, Greenland and the northern tip of Scotland among places with a rare annular eclipse, when the sun is reduced to a bright ring behind the moon.
In Oslo, people clapped and cheered when only a sliver of the sun was visible around the bottom of the moon. “It looks like the sun is smiling,” said Emma, nine, peering through dark glasses.
About 10,000-20,000 people got up early to see the partial eclipse under clear blue skies in a central park in the city.—Reuters
