New Delhi: A rare annular solar eclipse will be visible across parts of the Southern Hemisphere on October 2, creating a spectacular "ring of fire" effect as the moon passes in front of the sun. The eclipse will leave the sun's outer edges visible, forming a bright circle around the moon.
Is the annular solar eclipse visible from India?
This celestial event will be visible across parts of the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina. However, skywatchers in India will be disappointed. Due to the timing of the eclipse occurring at night, it will not be observable from the country.
