solar eclipse
Let’s see if the low solar eclipse that appears on April 30 is known in India. This is the first solar eclipse of the year.
The astrophysicist in Calcutta, MP. Devi Prasad Durai, former director of Birla Planetarium, told PTI.
“The eclipse on April 30 will be visible in the southern and southwestern parts of the South American continent, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and much of Antarctica.”
This means that people in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia and the continent of Antarctica can see this eclipse.
He said in a statement that a solar eclipse usually starts in one place and ends in another due to the rotation of the earth.
What time does the eclipse start?
The solar eclipse will begin on May 1 at 12.15 pm Indian time. Maximum start time in India is 2.11 am. The maximum will end at 4.07 am in India
Devi Prasad Durai says that since it is night time, no one in India can see it.
A similar lunar eclipse on May 16 will be the opposite. He said it would happen during daylight hours in India. It will start at 7.02 am Indian time. He said the full moon would disappear at 7.57am.
Commenting on the first solar eclipse of the year, Analyst TV Venkateswaran said, “The current eclipse is not known only in India but on the Asian continent. In Asia, the eclipse will take place at night. It occurs at least twice a year throughout, sometimes up to three times, during which a total solar eclipse or partial solar eclipse occurs, as well as various unscientific exchanges of information during the solar eclipse. Books mention that this is currently a shadow game, for example, if the umbrella hides the sun while holding the umbrella over the head, it is called a solar eclipse; if the moon hides, it is called a lunar eclipse. NASA space photograph of the eclipse was sent to the planet. The same thing is happening with various planets and satellites in the solar system. “
