Bandar Seri Begawan<\/strong> \u2013 A perfect alignment of the 3 celestial bodies, Earth-Moon-Sun, will occur on Sunday June 21, 2020, resulting in a spectacular annular solar eclipse which can only be view from specific areas on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annular phase of this solar eclipse will be visible from parts of Africa including the Central African Republic, Congo, and Ethiopia; Asia in Yemen, Oman, south of Pakistan and northern India, China including Taiwan. You must be located within the narrow path of annularity represented on the map above by a red line (about 11,400 km long and 21 km width), where people in these areas will see the characteristic “ring of fire”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Partial Solar Eclipse from Brunei<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The partial solar eclipse happens when the moon never completely covers the sun. In Brunei, the phenomenon will start at exactly 3:10 pm, will last for about two hours and 13 minutes. The maximum phase of the eclipse (greatest obscuration) will occur at 4:22:36 pm with the moon covering 28.2 per cent of the sun\u2019s disc. The partial eclipse will end when the moon leaves the sun\u2019s edge at 5:23 pm. Diagrams of the eclipse sequence or phases from Brunei<\/strong> in Local Time are as follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
