A complete solar eclipse happens when the visible size of the moon aligns perfectly with that of the Sun, resulting in a precise blocking of the Sun's light. As the shadow of the moon swiftly moves across the Earth's surface, those situated within the narrow path of totality witness a mesmerising phenomenon: the Sun's corona, its outer layer, gleaming like a brilliant halo encircling the obscured disk of the moon. This otherworldly exhibition endures for just a brief span, yet it etches a profound memory for all fortunate observers.
The first Solar Eclipse of 2024 is slated for April 8 and regrettably will not be visible from India.
