Solar Eclipse Video Shows Sun Turning Into Pac-Man As Moon Covers It

A "ring of fire" solar eclipse captivated people around the Northern Hemisphere on Thursday, with one video captured in Maryland showing the sun looking like the video game character Pac-Man.

The solar eclipse was visible in its first location at 8:12 a.m. UTC and started in its final visible location at 11:33 a.m. UTC. It reached its peak at 10:41 a.m.

Some areas of Russia, Greenland and northern Canada were treated to the full "ring of fire" experience, or annular eclipse, where the moon obscures the sun and leaves just a sliver visible. People in some parts of the U.S., northern Asia and Europe will have seen a partial version instead.

That included Maryland, where a skywatcher named Israel Joffe filmed the phenomenon in North Bethesda at 5:50 a.m. local time. He shared the video on Twitter, alongside hashtags including "#PacMan," and described it as "incredible."
