Makassar – The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) says that the total solar eclipse phenomenon will occur in 2024. So, when will this astronomical phenomenon occur?
Quoted from NASA’s website, a total solar eclipse will pass through a number of areas on Earth in 2024. The affected areas will be as dark as sunrise or sunset when the peak of the total solar eclipse occurs.
So, here’s the information on when the total solar eclipse will occur in 2024, complete with affected areas.
Total solar eclipse schedule
Also from the NASA website, a total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024. This rare phenomenon will occur in some parts of North America.
Some affected regions are also Mexico, the United States and Canada. This total solar eclipse will darken the area for several minutes.
This total solar eclipse is expected to repeat in America in the next 20 years. To be precise, August 23, 2044.
Unfortunately, the 2024 total solar eclipse will not cross Indonesian territory.
When did the last total solar eclipse occur in Indonesia?
Quoted from detikINET, a total solar eclipse once crossed Indonesian territory. This rare astronomical phenomenon passed through Indonesia for the last time on March 9, 2016.
The total solar eclipse that occurred in Indonesia crossed much of Indonesia from west to east.
What is a total solar eclipse?
Quoted from the NASA website, a total solar eclipse is a phenomenon in which the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, thus covering the entire surface of the Sun. This total solar eclipse will cast shadows on the heads of people in the affected area. When this phenomenon occurs, the sky will become dark as at sunrise or sunset.
A total solar eclipse is the only solar eclipse phenomenon that is safe to observe with the naked eye. However, this can only be done during a total eclipse, that is, when the Moon completely blocks the sun’s rays.
Meanwhile, to observe the partial phase of a solar eclipse, before or after a total eclipse, you still need to use eye protection.
For the 2024 total solar eclipse, NASA will take advantage of this by conducting experiments. It is funding five interdisciplinary science projects for this eclipse.
“Seven years after America’s last total solar eclipse, we are excited to announce five new projects that will study the 2024 eclipse,” said Peg Luce, acting director of the Science Mission Directorate’s Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
“We are excited to see what this new experiment will reveal about our Sun and its impact on Earth,” he continued.
This is complete information about when the total solar eclipse will occur in 2024. Hope this helps, designers.
