National Astronomical Research Institute indicate that This April 20th around 10.22 – 11.43 there will be a phenomenon solar eclipse part of the sky in Thailand The most eclipsed in the south at Narathiwat province, only 4 percent and observed only in some areas, namely 9 provinces in the south. Each area where the sun will be obscured the most is not equal as follows: Narathiwat (4.06%), Yala (3.22%), Pattani (2.82%), Satun (1.77%), Songkhla (1.77%) Phatthalung (0.93%), Trang (0.61%), Nakhon Si Thammarat (0.32%), Krabi (0.01%) and includes parts of Trat (0.02%), Ubon Ratchathani (0.1%) and Si Sa Ket ( 0.01 percent)
phenomenonsolar eclipsethat will happen It’s a mixed solar eclipse. The annular and total solar eclipses are the 52nd/80th of the Saros 129 series. The eclipse line will move from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. mostly across the ocean and some parts of the land that are large islands such as Australia East Timor and Indonesia (Papua Island and West Papua) from 9:42 a.m. to 12:52 p.m. (Thailand time). the occurrence of this eclipse The Sun will be eclipsed by the Moon for a maximum of 1 minute and 16 seconds.

May cover all or part of it. mixed solar eclipse Two types of solar eclipses occur at once: an annular eclipse and an annular eclipse. and total solar eclipse Because the Earth has a curved surface Causing each location on Earth to have a different distance to the moon An observer far from the Moon will see an annular solar eclipse.
