Ring of Fire [1]

Clouds partially cover the annular eclipse of 2012. During an annular eclipse, the Moon isn't quite big enough to cover the entire solar disk. That leaves a thin but bright ring of fire around the Sun. An annular eclipse will be visible across parts of Canada and other high northern regions on June 10. A partial eclipse will be visible from the northeastern third of the United States. [National Park Service]
