Today marks the occurrence of the first solar eclipse of the year, but regrettably, it won’t be visible in Pakistan.
Foreign media outlets have reported that this initial solar eclipse of the year will be observable in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Reports suggest that another solar eclipse may not grace our skies for the next two decades.
Scheduled between April 8 and 9, a total solar eclipse is anticipated, unfortunately missing from Pakistan’s view due to nighttime. Nevertheless, regions including Western Europe, South America, and the Atlantic will be treated to this celestial spectacle. The year’s second solar eclipse, predicted to be partial, is forecasted for October 2, primarily visible in parts of South America.
According to scientific authorities, the solar eclipse will commence its journey from Mexico, traversing northeast through the United States, culminating in the eastern provinces of Canada. A total solar eclipse lasting 4 minutes and 20 seconds will captivate observers in 15 states across America. The last total solar eclipse observed worldwide occurred in December 2021, though it was restricted to Antarctica.
