On April 20, between 10:22 and 11:43 a partial solar eclipse will occur over the sky of Thailand. The most eclipse in the south and can be observed only in some areas both northeast and east
On April 17, 2023, the National Astronomical Research Institute Information disclosure will occur. “Partial solar eclipse above the sky of Thailand” on April 20, 2023 at about 10:22 – 11:43 a.m. The most eclipse in the south in Narathiwat province is only 4 percent and can be observed only in some areas, namely 9 Southern provinces (Narathiwat, Yala, Pattani, Satun, Songkhla, Phatthalung, Trang, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Krabi) and parts of Trat, Ubon Ratchathani and Si Sa Ket. Advise through a light filter device. Do not look at it with the naked eye. or sunglasses is strictly prohibited Prepare to set up an observation point at the Chaloem Phrakiat Observatory, Songkhla and broadcast live via Facebook, National Astronomical Research Institute (NARITpage).
The upcoming solar eclipse on April 20, 2023 is a hybrid 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 and West Papua) from 9:42 AM to 12:52 PM (Thailand time). The Sun will be eclipsed by the Moon for a maximum of 1 minute and 16 seconds.
Thailand will see a partial solar eclipse. Starting from about 10:22 – 11:43, observed in 9 southern provinces. 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 Sisaket (0.01%).
A solar eclipse is a phenomenon in which the sun, moon and earth are aligned. There is a moon in the middle When observing from the earth, the moon will appear to cover the sun. 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. An observer closer to the moon will see a total eclipse.
Partial eclipses occur when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are not aligned exactly. during a solar eclipse The moon thus partially obscures the sun. leaving only the moon’s penumbra across the earth’s surface An observer on Earth within the penumbra of the Moon will see the Sun only partially obscured by the Moon.
Emphasize for those who are interested in watching this phenomenon. Do not observe with the naked eye, sunglasses, X-ray film, or CDs, as sunlight can penetrate and damage the optic nerve cells, causing blindness. It should be observed through a dedicated device. with safe light filtering properties, such as sun glasses made of black polymer filter Aluminum mylar filter Filter glass for welding mask No. 14 or larger and indirect sun observation devices such as viewing the sun’s shadow through a screen. or use the principle of a pinhole camera This is a safe method that does not harm the eyes. And can also see the phenomenon for many people at a time
If observed through a telescope Must be a telescope equipped with a solar filter only. Because the telescope has a concentrating lens, the sunlight is intensified. It is extremely dangerous to the eyes.
DR. Preparing to set up an observation point “Partial Solar Eclipse over Thailand Sky” on April 20, 2023 at the Observatory Chaloem Phra Kiat 7th cycle, Songkhla, 09:00-12:00 saw the sun appear most dented at 1.82% (around 11:01 a.m.) by providing safe sun viewing equipment for public service Those who are interested can join for free! Register for the event at Win a sun glasses at the event (limited amount)
You can also watch live broadcasts of the phenomenon via the National Astronomical Research Institute’s Facebook page at another way.
