On the afternoon of the 21st, half of the sun is covered... Observable all over the country

On the afternoon of the 21st, a partial eclipse occurs where the moon covers part of the year.

According to the Korea Astronomical Research Institute, the eclipse starts at 3:53 pm (Seoul) on the 21st and covers the maximum area at 5:2 pm.

The solar eclipse is 45% of the solar area.

The eclipse ends at 6:4 pm in 2 hours and 11 minutes.
This solar eclipse can be observed in all parts of the country if the weather is good.

In Jeju Island, you can see the phenomenon that the sun has hidden the most (eclipse area 57.4%).

"It can be damaging to the sun to see the sun without proper protective equipment," said Chun Moon-yeon. "You have to use a telescope equipped with a sun filter or special glasses to observe."

Chun Moon-yeon plans to broadcast this eclipse live on Facebook.

This solar eclipse occurs twice this year, and the total solar eclipse scheduled for December cannot be seen in Korea, so this is the last solar eclipse that can be observed in Korea.

The next partial solar eclipse that can be seen in Korea is on June 1, 2030, 10 years later.
It seems to be a partial solar eclipse in Korea, but in some parts of eastern Europe, eastern Africa, and Asia, it is observed as a'golden ring eclipse' where the sun's edge looks like a golden ring while the moon hides only the edge of the sun.
