<keyword id="6699518" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="solar-eclipse">Solar eclipse</keyword> is a rare and highly interesting astronomical event that has triggered human imaginations for so long. Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun hiding sun partially or fully for a brief period when seen from the earth. The solar eclipse that is coming up in this season will be an ‘Annular Solar Eclipse’ that will occur on December 26, 2019. This eclipse will be the third and the final solar eclipse for the year 2019. About Annular Solar Eclipse An annular Solar Eclipse will result when the apparent diameter of the moon is smaller than that of the sun. In this case, the moon will block most of the sun’s light and cause the sun to look like a ring (annulus) and hence the name annular solar eclipse. An annular solar eclipse will be a spectacular sight in the regions where it will be visible. Regions where annularity will be visible during December 26, 2019 solar eclipse The regions in which the annular solar eclipse will be visible will include Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. People living in cities like Kozhikode, Coimbatore, Jaffna, Trincomalee, Sibolga, Batam, Singapore, Singkawang and Guam can see the annular solar eclipse clearly in its entirety. Cities like Doha, Madurai, Pekanbaru, Dumai, Johor Bahru and Kuching occur in the regions that will narrowly miss the annular solar eclipse. The best places in India to view the annular solar eclipse The December 26, 2019 solar eclipse will be annular and partial depending on the location from where you see the eclipse in India. In the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, annular solar eclipse will be visible. The longest duration of annularity will be 3 minutes. In Tamil Nadu, you can see the annularity for 3 minutes 11 seconds in Tiruppur and for 3 minutes and 15 seconds in Ammapattinam on the east coast. The annularity will last for 3 minutes in Ooty and since it is a hill station with an altitude of 2200 meters, this location will lead to the best view of the solar eclipse without being obstructed by the clouds. Timing of the solar eclipse December 26, 2019 The partial eclipse will begin a few minutes after 8 am (IST) and will last till 11:30 am (IST). The timing of the annularity will be 09:24 am to 09:27 am in the east coast and 09:31 am to 09:35 am in the west coast. The percentage of eclipse in different cities of India The maximum obstruction of the sun during the eclipse when seen from different cities of India will be 78.8% from Mumbai, 44.7% in Delhi, 89.4% in Bangalore, 74.3% in Hyderabad, 66.0% in Ahmedabad, 84.6% in Chennai and 45.1% in Kolkata. Some important cities in the annular path of the solar eclipse will be Kozhikode in Kerala, Mangalore in Karnataka and Tiruppur, Coimbatore and Trichy in Tamil Nadu.

The eclipse will be visible in South Pacific region and some parts of South America, according to The Weather Channel. As per the Indian Standard Time (IST), the eclipse will begin at 10:25 PM on Tuesday (2 July) and will last for four minutes and 33 seconds. However, it will last twice as long as the previous total solar eclipse in August 2017, at two minutes and 40 seconds.

The eclipse will <a href="https://www.space.com/total-solar-eclipse-2019-photos.html">traverse</a> 6,000 miles, over parts of Chile, Argentina and South-Pacific region, but will not be visible from Asian countries including India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal among others. Total solar eclipse, which occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth forms a path of totality with the Moon blocking the Sun rays from stretching to the Earth. The next total solar eclipse will happen in December 2020, next year. The last eclipse occurred in August 2017.

For those watching on Earth, the moon appears to cover the sun, with a ring of the sun's light surrounding the moon. Looking directly at that light requires special glasses to protect the eyes from the sun's brightness.The eclipse's path of totality - in which the sun is fully blocked from view by the moon - is an ample length of 6,000 miles, though most of that is over the Pacific Ocean and a narrow band of Chile and Argentina. Viewers in South America will experience totality for about 2.5 minutes, roughly the same duration as the 2017 eclipse that crossed the continental US. La Serena, a city on Chile's western coast, will be the first to go dark.Totality will last the longest over a remote part of the Pacific Ocean west of South America, where the sun will go dark for <a href="https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2019Jul02Tgoogle.html">4 minutes and 32 seconds</a>.

Researchers will also need to peer through more of Earth's hazy atmosphere to get a clear image of what's happening in the sky.Totality represents a unique opportunity for scientists who study the sun. It's the only time that the solar corona - the sheath of high-speed, super-hot particles that ensconce the sun - is visible to onlookers.Occasionally, the corona spits out bursts of scorching hot plasma, which can be between <a href="https://www.nso.edu/for-public/sun-science/corona/">1.7 million </a><a href="https://www.nso.edu/for-public/sun-science/corona/">degrees Fahrenheit</a><a href="https://www.nso.edu/for-public/sun-science/corona/"> and more than 17 million degrees</a> - hotter than the surface of the sun itself. These bursts, called coronal mass ejections, can hurl towards Earth <a href="https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/coronal-mass-ejections">at speeds of 1,384 miles per second</a>. Their effects can <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-storm-effects-electronics-energy-grid-2016-3">disrupt our telecommunications infrastructure</a>, knock out power grids, and <a href="http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/coronalweather/CMEsFlares/page3.html">impact satellites in orbit</a>.By observing and analyzing the corona's behavior during eclipses, scientists gather information that can help them better understand and predict these coronal mass ejections. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Getty Images/Masashi HaraAn annular solar eclipse is observed on May 21, 2012 in Tokyo, Japan.</div></div></div>The next total solar eclipse will happen less than 18 months after this one. <a href="https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2020Dec14Tgoogle.html">On December 14, 2020</a> another total eclipse will travel over Chile and Argentina.The next total solar eclipse that people will be able to see from North America will <a href="https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2024Apr08Tgoogle.html">happen on April 8, 2024</a>. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stunning-footage-highlights-2017-total-solar-eclipse-2017-8">Stunning footage from NASA shows the best shots of the historic total solar eclipse</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

A total solar eclipse will be visible on July 2 for the first time since 2017 - here's who can see it

This comet was first spotted in satellite data by Thai amateur astronomer Worachate Boonplod on the NASA-funded <keyword id="10464387" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="sungrazer-project">Sungrazer Project</keyword>, as Chile and Argentina witnessed the total solar eclipse on December 14, reports NASA. Around the time the eclipse image was taken, the comet was travelling at roughly 7,24,205 kms per hour, about 4.3 million kms from the Sun's surface. The comet was around 50 feet in diameter -- about the length of a semi truck. It then disintegrated to dust particles due to intense solar radiation, a few hours before reaching its closest point to the Sun. Sungrazer is a citizen science project that invites anyone to search for and discover new comets in images from the joint <keyword id="59844" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="European-Space-Agency">European Space Agency</keyword> (ESA) and NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO. Boonplod discovered the comet a day before the eclipse. "He knew the eclipse was coming, and was eager to see whether his new comet discovery might appear in the Sun's outer atmosphere as a small speck in eclipse photographs," the US space agency said in a statement late on Saturday. The comet, named C/2020 X3 (SOHO) by the Minor Planet Center, is a "Kreutz" sungrazer. This family of comets originated from a large parent comet that broke up into smaller fragments well over a thousand years ago and continues to orbit around the Sun today. Kreutz sungrazing comets are most commonly found in SOHO images. To date, 4,108 comets have been discovered in SOHO images, with this comet being the 3,524th Kreutz sungrazer spotted, according to NASA.

But Thursday's spectacle is an annular solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon is too far from Earth - and therefore too small in the sky - to fully cover the sun. That leaves room for a brilliant halo of light, often referred to as a "ring of fire" or annulus, surrounding the moon.The phenomenon won't be visible everywhere: Parts of Canada, Greenland, and Russia will have the best views. People in the northeastern US, northern Europe, and northern Asia will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, which will look as if someone has taken a bite out of the sun.This will be the only annular solar eclipse this year, though it's the first of two solar eclipses in 2021. The year's second solar eclipse - a total eclipse - will take place on December 4. <h2>Annular solar eclipses are rare spectacles</h2><div type="image" title="A combination of photos depicts a partial annular solar eclipse observed with the use of a solar filter in Siak, Riau province, Indonesia, December 26, 2019. REUTERS/Willy Kurniawan" height="3965" width="5906" msid="83235376" hostid="261"></div>The glowing "ring of fire" in an annular eclipse is only visible for a short time: anywhere from a fraction of a second to over 12 minutes. Last year's annular solar eclipse lasted just under 90 seconds.Depending on your vantage point, you may still be able to see a band of light form along the moon's edge, then disappear over the span of roughly three hours. Total solar eclipses usually happen every five to six months, but annular solar eclipses only occur every year or two. That's because they require a precise set of conditions: To start, the sun, moon, and Earth must all be aligned. The moon must also be close to its apogee, or farthest point from Earth - around 252,700 miles away. In any solar eclipse, the moon's shadow carves a path across the Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the darkest part of the moon's shadow, called the umbra, hits the Earth. But during an annular solar eclipse - when the moon is farther from Earth - our planet instead passes through a part of the moon's shadow called the antumbra, which isn't quite as dark.<h2>You'll need special glasses to stare directly at the eclipse</h2><div type="image" title="solar eclipse" height="683" width="1024" msid="83235382" hostid="261"></div>It's dangerous to stare directly at any solar eclipse for the same reasons it's dangerous to look at the sun: The bright light can damage cells in your retina.This may ultimately distort your vision, resulting in blind spots or trouble making out shapes. Your eyes can also become watery and sore. Sometimes, these side effects won't show up for a few hours or even a few days.So if you want to view Thursday's solar eclipse in person, <keyword id="6360409" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Nasa">NASA</keyword> recommends wearing a pair of "eclipse glasses" with special solar filters. (The American Astronomical Society has <a href="https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters">a list of reputable manufacturers</a>.) You can also purchase a pair of welder's goggles in shade 12 or higher.Sunglasses aren't a proper substitute - they transmit thousands of times too much sunlight, according to NASA.The eclipse will also be <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/live/eclipse-solar-2021-june-10?ftag=YHF4eb9d17">livestreamed</a> on Thursday for those looking to watch from home.After this, the next annular solar eclipse won't happen until October 14, 2023. In the meantime, the world can look forward to December's total solar eclipse, plus two partial solar eclipses in 2022.
