The phenomenon begins, on Tuesday, at 08:58 GMT in Iceland, and ends at 13,02 GMT, passing through Europe, northeastern Africa and the Middle East, according to the French Institute of Heavenly Mechanics and the Astronomical Calendar of the Paris Observatory.
When the sun, moon, and earth are all in a straight line, an eclipse takes place.
And when the alignment is nearly perfect, the moon’s cone shadow contacts the surface of the Earth and blocks the entire solar disc, completing the eclipse.
But this time, the moon’s shadow will not touch the Earth and “it will not be possible to see the complete disappearance of the sun disk anywhere,” according to the Paris Observatory in a statement.
Florent Delevley, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory, told AFP that the sun will be 82.2% eclipsed at the greatest anticipated eclipse over Kazakhstan “However, it won’t be enough to make it black throughout the middle of the day.
He further said “You need at least 95% of the sun’s obfuscation to begin experiencing darkness in the sky and realising a chilly light.
If the weather is clear, residents of the affected areas will be able to observe the eclipse by gazing directly at the sun with new, proper eyewear to prevent eye burns, or by using enlarged tools (telescopes or perspectives) that are accessible in the centres that will arrange monitoring.
This year’s second solar eclipse—the sixteenth overall in the twenty-first century—can be viewed across the South Pacific.
The most recent partial eclipse on the French mainland occurred on June 10, 2021.
On August 12, 2026, a total eclipse will lead to a 92 percent flock to the solar disk, according to the Paris Observatory..
The world is scheduled to see a partial solar eclipse on Tuesday.
