Surya Grahan 2022: The first solar eclipse of the year will take place on 30 April 2022. This will be a partial eclipse. Astronomer Debi Prasad Duari has said that there will be a partial solar eclipse on April 30 and a total lunar eclipse on May 16 but neither celestial event will be visible from Kolkata city and its neighbourhood. He said the next partial solar eclipse in the city would be on October 25 and a partial lunar eclipse on November 8.
Duari, former director of MP Birla Planetarium, said that the partial solar eclipse of April 30 will be visible from the south and southwest parts of South America, Pacific and Atlantic oceans and most of Antarctica, but it will not be visible from this part of the world. .
"People in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia or Antarctica can see this phenomenon," he said in a statement on Sunday. A solar eclipse always starts at one place and ends at another place due to the rotation of the earth.
He said that the partial solar eclipse will start at 6.45 pm universal time and will continue till 12.15 pm on May 1. In India, it will start at around 2.11 pm and will end at around 4:07 am. It will be night time in India, so no one will be able to see this celestial event. ,
