Stargazers in parts of Africa and Asia will have the chance to see a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse this weekend.

Skywatchers along a narrow band from west Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, India and southern China will witness on Sunday the most dramatic"ring of fire" solar eclipse to shadow the Earth in years.

More spectacular, but less long-lived: the exact alignment of the Earth, Moon and Sun will be visible for only 38 seconds. The full eclipse will be visible somewhere on Earth during just under four hours, and one of the last places to see a partially hidden Sun is Taiwan before its path heads out into the Pacific.
