Partial solar eclipse to occur in India on October 2, 2024
The annual solar eclipse will occur on October 2, 2024, creating a "Ring of Fire" as the Moon partially covers the Sun. This event will be visible in parts of South America, but India will only see a partial eclipse. In India, the annular phase will not be visible. Instead, observers can expect a partial solar eclipse. The eclipse will begin at 7:12 PM IST and end at 3:17 AM IST the following day. Safety is important when viewing the eclipse. It is recommended to use certified eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector to avoid eye damage.
