Total solar eclipse on April 8: ISRO's Aditya-L1 will track the Sun on Monday as it gets completely cloaked by the Moon during the Total Solar Eclipse.
India's first space-based solar observatory, Aditya L1, is continuously studying the Sun but will miss the total solar eclipse today that will be visible over vast swaths of North America.
The world is all set to witness the total solar eclipse of 2024. The total solar eclipse will happen from 9:12 pm on April 8 to 2:22 am on April 9, 2024. The "path of totality" when the moon completely covers the sun will start at 10:08 pm, and will last only for four minutes. Unfortunately for Indians, the celestial event will not be visible and only those in a 185-kilometre stretch between Mexico, the US, and Canada can witness the spectacular sight.
A total solar eclipse is poised to mesmerize observers across North America on April 8, 2024. This rare occurrence promises to transform daylight into an enchanting twilight, offering a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle for those fortunate enough to witness it.
India's Aditya L1 satellite, dedicated to studying the Sun, will miss the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, as it is positioned to provide uninterrupted views of the Sun. In contrast, NASA is gearing up for the rare celestial event, flying special research planes and organizing various activities across the USA to witness the spectacle safely. The eclipse will darken skies as it passes over North America, with the path of totality tracking across several cities.
