Solo – The year 2024 is very special because there will be a rare phenomenon that will occur, namely a Total Solar Eclipse. Not a few people are enthusiastic about witnessing this natural phenomenon.
How could it not be, the last total solar eclipse occurred 3 years ago. More precisely on December 4 2021 in Antarctica.
In Indonesia itself, the last Total Solar Eclipse occurred on March 9 2016. This event can be observed throughout Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Apart from that, the same solar eclipse also had an impact on the Pacific region.
When did the last solar eclipse occur in Indonesia?
The last partial solar eclipse occurred in Indonesia on April 20 2023. Reported Detik news, The solar eclipse that occurred in Indonesia was a total and partial solar eclipse.
This eclipse can also be observed from all regions of Indonesia. There are only a few areas that are not affected by this phenomenon at all, namely the northern province of Aceh.
What is a Total Solar Eclipse?
Quoted from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA page, a total solar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the sun, moon and earth are in a parallel line so that the moon’s shadow covers all of the sun’s rays.
If there is a total solar eclipse, some areas on earth will be completely dark for a few moments. Apart from Total Solar Eclipses, there are also Partial and Hybrid Solar Eclipses.
When will the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse occur?
Still quoted from NASA, this year there will be a Total Solar Eclipse after three years. This event will occur on April 8.
Unfortunately, Indonesia is not affected by this eclipse. The regions that will experience a Total Solar Eclipse are Mexico, the United States and Canada.
In 2024, NASA also predicts that a ring solar eclipse will occur. This eclipse will occur on October 2, 2024. Unfortunately, only Argentina and Chile are affected.
There will be no solar eclipse in Indonesia in the near future. NASA itself estimates that Indonesia will experience an annular solar eclipse on May 21, 2031.
This is a complete explanation of the Total Solar Eclipse which will occur in 2024. Hope it is useful!
