The Pakistan Meteorological Department has shared that we’ll see the second and last solar eclipse of the year during the night of October 2 and 3. Sadly, this one won’t be visible in Pakistan, but folks in South America, North America, and Antarctica will get a great view.
Here’s the schedule: the partial eclipse kicks off at 8:43 PM PST on October 2. The total eclipse starts at 9:51 PM, and the peak of the event will be at 11:45 PM PST. The total eclipse wraps up at 1:39 AM PST on October 3, while the partial eclipse ends at 2:47 AM.
So, What is a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse happens when the moon gets between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow on our planet. It’s not something you see every day because the moon doesn’t follow the same path as the sun and earth.
For a solar eclipse to happen, two things need to align: the Sun, moon, and Earth have to be in a straight line, with the moon right in the middle, and you need to be in the right spot on Earth to see it.
