Houston: Astronomers said that the first solar eclipse of
this year is coming on February 17, however, it will not be visible in most
countries in Asia, including Pakistan.
According to a report by Space.com, this eclipse will be
visible in a remote part of Antarctica and the sun will look like a ball of
fire, which will happen when the moon comes directly in front of the sun in its
elliptical orbit.
The moon cannot completely cover the sun, so the sun's rays
will appear reddish and the moon's shadow will spread over the sun and the sun
will also present a bright moon-like view. This will create the Ring of Fire
scene in the next phase and this will happen when the moon is directly in front
of the sun.
According to experts, at this time the sky will become
slightly darker and the outer edge of the sun will look like a golden ring and
this scene will be visible in different parts of Antarctica and will last for
about two hours, after which the golden ring will gradually start to disappear.
Similarly, in the third phase, the moon will start moving
away from the sun and in the final phase, it will completely move away from the
front.
Although this solar eclipse will be visible in some areas of
Antarctica, experts have warned that looking directly at it can be dangerous to
eyesight, so if anyone wants to watch it, they should use special glasses or a
solar filter.
About two weeks later, on March 3, the moon will appear
reddish in the sky, which is called a blood moon. This will also be the first
blood moon of the year and will be visible in North America, East Asia and
Australia.
