The year 2023 is going to be a special year for sky watchers and astronomy enthusiasts as a rare celestial event is set to occur in the form of Surya Grahan or Solar Eclipse. Surya Grahan 2023 has been announced and is set to take place on April 20, 2023.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on the Earth’s surface. It is a rare and spectacular event that can be seen only from certain locations on the Earth’s surface. The Surya Grahan 2023 will be a total solar eclipse, which means that the Moon will completely cover the Sun, and the sky will turn dark during the peak of the eclipse.
The Surya Grahan 2023 will be visible from certain parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Indonesia and the Pacific Ocean. However, it will not be visible from India or other parts of Asia, Europe, or North America.
The total solar eclipse will last for a maximum of 7 minutes and 8 seconds, making it one of the longest solar eclipses of the 21st century. It will start at 4:26 AM UTC and end at 10:06 AM UTC. The peak of the eclipse will occur at 6:48 AM UTC.
During the eclipse, the sky will turn dark, and the temperature will drop. Animals may behave differently, and birds may become silent. It is a unique opportunity to witness a rare celestial event and experience the beauty and wonder of nature.
However, it is essential to take precautions while viewing the eclipse as looking directly at the Sun can damage the eyes. Special eclipse glasses or filters should be used to protect the eyes during the eclipse.
In conclusion, Surya Grahan 2023 is a rare celestial event that should be marked on the calendars of all sky watchers and astronomy enthusiasts. It is a unique opportunity to witness the beauty and wonder of nature and experience an awe-inspiring moment. So, mark your calendars and get ready to witness a once-in-a-lifetime event in 2023.
