What is Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth’s view of the Sun.
The annular solar eclipse starts at Uganda, passes through Nairobi, enters Indian ocean where the greatest eclipse is taking place in mid of Ocean for a maximum of 11 Mins and 7.7 seconds. After that enters Maldives, where it would be the longest on land with 10.8 Minutes of viewing. This makes the tiny islands of Maldives the best spot for viewing this eclipse from land.
The eclipse is viewable for 10.4 minutes in India. The best place from India is Dhanushkodi in Pamban Island off Tamil Nadu coast. Dhanushkodi is about 18 km South east from Rameshwaram.
In Bangalore, the eclipse will be between 11 am and 3.15 pm. Specially made goggles are available to view the solar eclipse. It is available in Sapna Book house for Rs. 25/-
