Rare solar eclipse filmed in skies above Okinawa in Japan

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

This clip was filmed in Okinawa in Japan at around 2 pm local time.

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.
