The universe never ceases to amaze us, and on April 20, 2023, India will witness a rare celestial event - an annular solar eclipse. here's everything you need to know about this stunning phenomenon and how to view it safely.

On April 8, 2024, the world will witness a total solar eclipse, which will be visible from several parts of North America, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The solar eclipse of April 20, 2023, will be an annular solar eclipse, which means that the moon will not completely cover the sun, leaving a ring of light around the moon's edge. This type of eclipse occurs when the moon is at a farther distance from the Earth, making its size appear smaller than the sun's size, and thus not completely covering it.

In India, the solar eclipse will be visible from several regions, including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh, among others. The eclipse will begin at around 12:32 pm IST and will end at around 6:02 pm IST, with the maximum eclipse occurring at around 3:01 pm IST.

During a solar eclipse, it is essential to take certain precautions to protect your eyesight. Looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, can cause permanent eye damage or blindness. Therefore, it is recommended to use special solar eclipse glasses or other protective eyewear to view the eclipse safely.

Solar eclipses have fascinated humans for centuries and have been the subject of scientific study and cultural significance. They offer a rare opportunity to witness a celestial event that reminds us of the vastness and beauty of our universe. So don't miss the chance to witness the annular solar eclipse of April 20, 2023, in India!
