New Delhi. Today the first total solar eclipse of this year is going to occur. According to Indian time, the total solar eclipse will start at 9.12 pm. The total solar eclipse will end at 2:22 pm. That means this solar eclipse is going to last for more than 4 hours. This solar eclipse will not be visible in India and Asian countries due to it being night. If you want to see the solar eclipse happening today, then the American space agency NASA has made arrangements for it. By visiting NASA’s website you can watch the total solar eclipse live there.
Apart from America, Canada, Mexico, this total solar eclipse will also be visible in Costa Dominica and French Polynesia. Apart from some countries in Europe, today’s total solar eclipse will also be visible in some parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Such a long solar eclipse is going to happen after 54 years.

Whereas, during Khagras eclipse the Sun does not hide completely. Due to total solar eclipse today, a diamond ring like shape will also be seen in the Sun.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun. Earth is at a great distance from the Sun. Whereas, the Moon is our satellite and is close to the Earth. Due to its proximity to the Earth, the Moon covers the Sun. If the Moon completely covers the Sun, a total solar eclipse occurs. Whereas, if the moon is not completely covered, then a partial solar eclipse can be seen. If we talk about the religious aspect, then due to this solar eclipse not being visible in India, Sutak will not be observed. That means there will be no restrictions from religious point of view during this period.
