Partial solar eclipse will take place on Sunday 21st September. However, people in the United States will not be able to witness. This rare event will only be visible in Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and several small islands in the Pacific and Atlantic.
What is a partial solar eclipse?
The solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the ground and blocks the sunlight. In the complete eclipse of the sun, the sun, the moon and the earth, it will stand perfectly and turn the day into night for a short time. In a partial solar eclipse, the equalization is not accurate, so the moon only covers part of the sun.
According to the USA Today, during the upcoming partial eclipse, the sun appears “like a crescent, as if someone had taken a bite”. People in the right regions will briefly see this unusual “bitten sun” before the moon goes through and the sun looks normal again.
When will the eclipse occur?
Partial eclipse will begin at 13:29 et on Sunday, September 21 with a maximum eclipse at 15:41 et. Since Monday will be in the southern hemisphere, the timing will vary according to the location. It is recommended to check the viewers on trusted sites such as time and date.
Can it be seen from the US?
No. The eclipse will not be visible from the United States. For most Americans, it will be the only way to experience it through live streams, videos and photos shared from the regions where you can see. Approximately 16 million people – only 0.2 % of the world’s population – will be able to display it directly.
How can you safely follow it?
Experts warn: Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. Special eclipse, solar spectators or official live currents should be used. These measures are necessary to prevent serious eye damage.
