Mangalore:The December 2019 solar eclipse which was visible in Mangalore lit up the sky with a bright 'ring of fire' on Thursday morning and Mangalore’s sky watchers thronged the premises of The Bharath Academy to be part of the event organized by CFAL.
This morning of 26th December, 2019 as we looked towards the eastern sky, we saw a dance of shadows unfold with the sun and our moon lining up to make an Annular Solar Eclipse. For a small belt in South India, the eclipse was abeautiful annular (ring-shaped) one, since the Moon was not close enough to cover the Sun's face completely.
The solar eclipse was one last grand celestial event to go before we bid this year goodbye. The eclipse, which began at around 9.24 am saw sky watchers gazing at the sun wearing their solar eclipse glasses at the event conducted by CFAL.
