A team of Indian solar physicists will be observing the Sun closely during Monday’s (April 8) total solar eclipse in order to gain a better understanding of the solar atmosphere.
The rare celestial event will be visible only from parts of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The eclipse will start at 9.12 pm IST, and is expected to end at 2.22 am IST on Tuesday (April 9), with the total eclipse expected at 10.08 pm IST.
Why does an eclipse offer a good opportunity to study the Sun?
A solar eclipse takes place due to the alignment of the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon with respect to each other. During a solar eclipse, which can last from a few minutes to several hours, the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. As the Moon casts its shadow, either partially or fully, over Earth, the Sun ceases to be visible in full or in part, and a partial or total solar eclipse occurs.
