The world is going to witness a rare total solar eclipse on April 8. However, the total solar eclipse will not be visible from all parts of the world, according to the US space research agency NASA. In this rare solar eclipse, the moon will completely cover the sun in Mexico, the United States and Canada that day. As a result, the day will be as dark as the night. Therefore, on April 8, hundreds of schools have been closed in the United States.
The American magazine Newsweek reported this information.
NASA says the first solar eclipse will be visible on the Pacific coast of Mexico on April 8 at 11:07 a.m. local time.
NASA scientists described it as 'special' as it was the first solar eclipse after 54 years. Previously, such a solar eclipse occurred in 1970, and may occur again in 2078.
But there are some concerns about this rare solar eclipse, said those concerned. Local authorities have warned that looking directly at the sun during the eclipse could cause permanent eye damage.
The total solar eclipse will be visible from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Meanwhile, a 'state of disaster' has been declared in various parts of the state of Texas around the solar eclipse. The local administration has also advised the residents to stock essential products. Students will also be given special glasses for use during movement on this day.
