(UTV|COLOMBO) – An annular solar eclipse can be observed from Sri Lanka on the day following Christmas (December 26), says the Arthur C Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies.
“If the Weather is permitting, the annular phase of this solar eclipse is visible from Saudi Arabia, southern India, Northern parts of Sri Lanka and parts of Indonesia. Those in Europe, parts of Asia, Southern parts Sri Lanka and North-West Australia will see a partial eclipse,” Sri Lanka’s major astronomy body said in a statement.
The Annular phase of the eclipse begins approximately 180 kilometers West of Dammam in the desert of eastern Saudi Arabia around 9.04 a.m. (Sri Lankan Time), according to the statement.
