New Delhi, December 26

The annular solar eclipse on Thursday set the Twitter abuzz, with users tweeting picture-postcard photos on the celestial phenomenon and even posting some funny comments.

Another user wrote: “This is mesmerising. #solareclipse2019 #RingOfFire.” “It looks like the Sun was hanged on guillotine today & ready to be executed,” read one post.

One user posted pictures of the solar eclipse and wrote: “Kid in the room shouts ‘moon’ looking at the picture.” A user posted a picture where the eclipse resembles a diamond ring. The comment: “Hope she gets impressed with this.” — IANS
