The first solar eclipse of 2022 will start from 12.15 am on the midnight of April 30 according to Indian standard time and will last till 4:7 am in the morning. This will be a partial solar eclipse. In this, the Moon will obstruct only a part of the Sun's light. According to the US space agency NASA, the moon will cast only the outer part of its shadow on the Sun.

The first solar eclipse of this year will be seen in Antarctica, Atlantic region, Pacific Ocean, South America and other parts. This partial solar eclipse will not be visible in India.

Will it be visible from India?

Many are wondering if the solar eclipse will be visible from India or not. It must be noted that the partial Surya Grahan will not be visible from India this time. For space enthusiasts, the solar eclipse will be telecasted on several online portals and websites.

'Black Moon'

The special thing is that astronomers have also called this partial solar eclipse as Black Moon. According to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), just before and during sunset the Moon will block some part of the Sun, causing a partial eclipse.

'Black Moon' is a rare event and we did not experience this phenomenon in 2021. It is not an official astronomical term. According to SPACE.com, there is no single definition of a 'black moon'. But mostly, the term is commonly used to refer to any event associated with the new moon, because during the new moon phase, the moon is always black.
