Brief about Solar Eclipse: A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes
between the Sun and the Earth such a way that the Sun is wholly or partially
obscured. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in
conjunction as seen from the Earth.
Annular Solar Eclipse: An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon
are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of
the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding
the outline of the Moon.
Timings (as per Indian Standard Time): Eclipse begins at 2.55 a.m. and ends at 8.55 am. as per Indian Time. Wherein the Greatest Eclipse occurs at 5.55a.m.
However this eclipse is not visible in India.
Area where the eclipse is visible : The eclipse
is visible from the region covering Central Pacific Region, most of New Zealand, Australia
and Indonesia
