A solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day when the Moon comes in between the Earth and the Sun and when all the three objects are aligned. A partial solar eclipse will occur when the lunar disk covers the solar disk partially.
Eclipsed Sun should not be viewed with the naked eye, even for a very short time. It will cause permanent damage of the eyes leading to blindness even when the Moon covers most portion of the Sun. Safe technique to observe the solar eclipse is either by using proper filter like aluminized Mylar, black polymer, welding glass of shade number 14 or by making projection of Sun’s image on a white board by telescope.
When will the next partial solar eclipse occur?
According to the sources, the next partial eclipse will be occurring on March 29, 2025.
The partial solar eclipse which will be occurring 3 years later won’t be visible in India. After that, the next partial eclipse will be visible in India on November 3, 2032. It is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon.
