\"On behalf of the Astronomy and Astrophysics community of India, we welcome you to enjoy the celestial spectacle of the partial solar eclipse. The ASI Public Outreach and Education Committee has put together resources here from various Astronomy Organizations and Science Outreach Centres for the public. The Sun is the source of light that sustains humanity. As we celebrate the festival of light on Earth, we hope these resources will help you partake in the excitement of exploring and understanding the Sun and the Cosmos that we share.\"<\/p>\n

A couple of hours before sunset on 25th October this year, as we look towards the western sky, we will see a celestial game of shadows unfold - the Sun and the Moon lining up with the Earth to make a Solar Eclipse. This will be a Partial Solar Eclipse only, which means that the sun will not be completely obscured. The northwest parts of India will experience a deeper eclipse. In these regions a larger part of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon, making it look like a thick crescent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

This spectacle, coming right after Diwali, is a good reason for all to go outside, watch the solar eclipse and enjoy some snacks. Do invite all your friends, family, and your communities to see it too. All relevant information is 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>! In case you are unable to go outside to watch the eclipse, you can see its live streaming from various parts of the country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Join us to celebrate & share this wonder<\/h3>

The ASI-POEC has created a resource base on this page for anyone to see and share the eclipse. Scroll below for Maps and Tables<\/a>, Teaching resources<\/a>, Information on observing safely<\/a> and a Glossary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
