The sun disappears from almost half of the earth.. tomorrow

Tomorrow, the world will witness a partial eclipse of the sun, covering large areas of the northern hemisphere, in a phenomenon that lasts two hours, which will not lead to complete darkness, but those who wish to observe it must be careful.

The phenomenon begins Tuesday at 08:58 GMT in Iceland, and ends at 13:02 off India, passing through Europe, Northeast Africa and the Middle East, according to the French Institute of Celestial Mechanics, and the Paris Observatory’s ephemeris calculation.

But this time, the moon's shadow will not touch the Earth and "it will not be possible to witness the complete disappearance of the sun's disk anywhere," according to the Paris Observatory, in a statement.

And astronomer at the Paris Observatory, Florent Delively, said that at the maximum expected eclipse over Kazakhstan, the sun will be 82.2% hidden “but that will not be enough to cause darkness” in broad daylight.

"To start to feel the darkness in the sky, and perceive a kind of cold light, you need at least 95 percent opacity to the sun," he added.
