A total solar eclipse -the only one of this year- will happen on December 4, Nevertheless will not be visible from Greece.
In particular, the “path” of the eclipse will be fully visible only for a moment from Antarctica and the South Atlantic Ocean, so probably the penguins will see it all while partially visible will be from South Africa and southern ocean. This completes the eclipses of 2021, as it was preceded by a total lunar on May 26, an annular solar on June 10 and a partial lunar on November 19.
To 2022 there will be one partial solar on April 30th, a full lunar on May 15-16, a second partial solar on October 25th (visible from Greece), as well as one total lunar on November 7-8. The next total solar will occur on April 20, 2023, according to the ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ.
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon intervenes between the Earth and the Sun, completely covering the solar disk and thus revealing the outer atmosphere of our star, the so-called crown. The diameter of the Sun is about 400 times larger than that of the Moon, but the latter also happens to be almost 400 times closer to the Earth than the Sun, so it can cover it from the eyes of an Earth observer.
The US Space Agency (NASA) will broadcast the Antarctic eclipse both on its channel in YouTube as well as at the address nasa.gov/live, starting at 08:30 Greek time on Saturday and ending at 10:37 a.m.
