Summary The eclipse will start at 4:19 am (PST) and will end at 9:35 am (PST).
(Web Desk) – Year’s first solar eclipse to be taken place on Wednesday at 4:19 am (PST), reported on Tuesday.
The weather has been predicted to be clear during the eclipse – as much as 90 per cent of the sun will be covered by the moon.
People in parts of Indonesia, Borneo and Sulawesi and Australia will be in the line of totality and will fully experience it however, the eclipse will not be observed in Pakistan.
In India’s Hyderabad, the sun would rise at 6.29 am on March 9, allowing people to see only 12 per cent of the solar eclipse.
The eclipse will end at 9:35 am PST.
At least twice a year, the orbits of the moon and Earth result in the moon casting a shadow on the Earth that blocks the sun. Most eclipses are partial but when the moon is close enough to the Earth, the sun is completely eclipsed and only a faint ring of rays known as the corona is visible.
It is dangerous to look at the sun with the naked eye during a partial eclipse, the partial phases of a total eclipse and another type of eclipse called the annular eclipse, particularly using devices such as telescopes.
