On the morning of 26th December this year, as we look towards the eastern sky, we can see a dance of shadows unfold with the Sun and our Moon lining up to make a Solar Eclipse. For a small belt in South India, the eclipse will be an beautiful annular (ring-shaped) one, since on that day the Moon is not close enough to cover the Sun's face completely.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"The eclipse will be seen as Annular<\/em> in some parts of Southern India and Partial<\/em> in the rest of the country. This event unites the entire country - so let's all enjoy this natural spectacle safely!\" - Aniket Sule, Chair, POEC<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

This spectacle, coming right in the winter holidays, will be a good reason for all to go outside and enjoy breakfast with a view over the few hours. We wish all our friends, family, and our communities to see it too. Hence all relevant information is being made available here to see the event safely and learn some facts about eclipses - which have been known to be harmless, natural phenomena right from the times of \u0100ryabha\u1e6da<\/span>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you are organising a local event where members of the public can come and watch the eclipse with you, please do register your event with us. We will then put your event on our map<\/a>, so that others can join you as well. If you have a small telescope, that is great, but we can all enjoy the eclipse without one too, so do not let that stop you!<\/p>\n

The timings and maximum fraction of the Sun getting covered in this eclipse will differ with your location. All places in India will see this completely and early in the morning. The shadow of the moon will be seen earlier in the West and the Moon's limb will cover the Sun later for those who reside eastwards in Longitude. For example <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
City<\/strong><\/td>\nMaxima Time<\/strong><\/td>\nSun coverage<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ahmedabad <\/td>\n09:22 IST<\/td>\n67% <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Coimbatore <\/td>\n09:30 IST<\/td>\n93% (Annular)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
New Delhi<\/td>\n09:30 IST<\/td>\n47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Vizag<\/td>\n09:40 IST<\/td>\n66%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kolkata<\/td>\n09:50 IST<\/td>\n45%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dibrugarh<\/td>\n10:12 IST<\/td>\n27%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
