This Sunday, September 13th, is the day of the last solar eclipse of this year. Just as the previous solar eclipse, it is going to be challenging to view, unless you happen to be on the southern tip of Africa or have made plans to travel to Antarctica for the weekend.
This will be a partial solar eclipse with the Moon covering 79% of the Sun’s diameter. Still certain parts of the world will be able to see up to 30% solar disc coverage, and that is Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Madagascar.
Check out our explanatory videos in Solar Walk to see how the solar eclipse happens and use Star Walk to find your way across the sky.
