Guwahati: On June 21, the world will witness its second solar eclipse of the year. When it’s a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon; however, in partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured. This one is going to be an annular eclipse.
The Annular solar eclipse forms a ring of fire but is different from a total eclipse. It will be visible in parts of Africa including the Central African Republic, Congo, Ethiopia, Pakistan, India, and China.
The partial eclipse of 3 hours 27 minutes in Guwahati will begin at 10: 57.0, and attain the greatest eclipse at 12: 45.5, and attain the greatest eclipse at 12:45.5.
From India, the annular phase will be visible in the morning from some places within a narrow corridor of northern part of the country (parts of Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttarakhand) and it will be seen as partial solar eclipse from the rest part of the country.
