On October 14th, Earth is set to witness a remarkable celestial event, the last solar eclipse of the year. This extraordinary occurrence, known as the “Ring of Fire,” promises to captivate skywatchers across the nation.
Renowned astronomers have bestowed this eclipse with its distinctive name due to its unique characteristics. Unlike a total solar eclipse, where the moon completely covers the sun, this eclipse will leave a fiery ring-like appearance around the edges of the sun. It’s a sight to behold!
However, it’s important to note that this celestial spectacle won’t be visible from Pakistan. The Meteorological Department has confirmed that the eclipse will be observable in several countries, including Southwestern Mexico, Central America, and parts of Colombia and Northern Brazil.
For those who want to follow the event closely, here are the key timings:
- Eclipse Start: October 14th, 8:04 PM Pakistan Time
- Maximum Eclipse: October 14th, 10:59 PM Pakistan Time
- Eclipse End: October 15th, 1:55 AM Pakistan Time
So, while we may not be able to witness this extraordinary solar eclipse in Pakistan, the skies over other parts of the world will light up with the “Ring of Fire” on the night of October 14th. It’s a celestial show worth keeping an eye on!
