We are all expectantly waiting for the Summer Solstice Solar Eclipse on Sunday i.e. 21 June, 2020. It will be breathtakingly annular (almost 99% coverage) in a belt in North India and partial in various percentages in the rest of the country.
Everyone is welcome to get more details and resources regarding it at: http://astron-soc.in/outreach/activities/aseindia2020/
To allow everyone to enjoy it and to learn about it from the safety of their homes in these times, the ASI-POEC and Inter-University Centre for Astronomy & Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune will be collaboratively hosting a Live Webcast of various video feeds of the Solar Eclipse from across the country. The show will also host an array of experts from ASI and the scientific community on the subject of Eclipses and related concept, Astronomy and related careers etc. This will appeal to all ages, but will be especially very useful for youngsters.
