It will start at 09:12 PM and end at 01:25 AM. The Sutak period will start 12 hours before the eclipse and end when the eclipse ends.

When the moon completely blocks the sun, it creates a shadow on Earth known as the “path of totality.” This path is a narrow strip that moves across the surface.

Those within this strip can see a total solar eclipse if the weather permits. On April 8, 2024, the eclipse path is expected to be 115 miles wide. It’s rare for a particular place on Earth to experience a total solar eclipse.

A total solar eclipse occurs roughly every 18 months when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, briefly blocking the sun’s light. But it’s hard to find a good spot on land to see it because most of the Earth is covered by water. Being in a place where a solar eclipse is happening is even more uncommon, so you don’t usually have to travel far, maybe not even to another continent, to watch it.
