Sunday 21 June - Partial Eclipse

Post by galexinda »

''On the morning of June 21st, we expect a wonderful surprise. The annular ring solar eclipse will be visible from Cyprus but will be visible as a partial eclipse. The annular eclipse is an impressive phenomenon in which the moon's disk overlaps the sun's disk and the sun remains visible only like a ring.

In Cyprus, the partial eclipse will be visible at 08:28 on the morning of Sunday 21 June, while the phenomenon will last 1 hour and 53 minutes. Also, the size of the eclipse in Cyprus is 0.37%, i.e. it will cover about a fourth of the sun''.

One sentence in the report / description made me Laugh.. " How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky " I think if we look up we will know where the sun is :-)

0.37% is not "about a quarter" it is more like a three-hundreth.
