While the Annual Solar Eclipse 2020 is set to take place on June 21, there are speculations that the doomsday is near and that the world will come to end on June 21.
The infamous Mayan calendar, which had earlier predicted the end of the world on December 21, 2012, has again suggested that the world will end for good on June 21, 2020. Coincidentally, the prediction of doomsday has coincided with the date of the Ring of Fire solar eclipse.
The solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes in between the Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over the Earth. The first solar eclipse, also known as Surya Grahan, of the year 2020 will occur on June 21. On the annular solar eclipse, the Moon will cover Sun from the center creating a ring of fire. It is because the moon is far away from the Earth and its size is not big enough to entirely cover the sun.
