Timings of the Eclipse on 21st May 2012: As per Indian Standard time the eclipse begins at 2.26 a.m. and Eclipse Ends at 8.19 a.m. The maximum phase of eclipse will be at 05.23 a.m
Visible in North Eastern States – but only for few Minutes – due to Eclipse Path : Most of the North Eastern states where sun will rise around/after 4.41 a.m. can witness this celestial wonder for few Minutes only close to horizon. Because this eclipse is not visible beyond 4.52 a.m. from India which lies in broader Penumbral path of Moon’s Shadow (away from Central/Umbra path) producing Partial Solar Eclipse for observers
Other Eclipses 2012: PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE on 4th June & TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE on 14th November are not visible from India. Whereas there is a PENUMBRAL LUNAR ECLIPSE on 28th Nov, 2012 it can’t be appreciated visibly and as per Govt. of India’s Indian Astronomical Ephemeris 2012 page.333 “A penumbral eclipse of moon is not be taken as an eclipse of the moon in the ordinary sense, as the moon is not covered by the real shadow of the earth during such an eclipse”
Major Event in 2012 - Transit of Venus on 6th June 2012: major celestial event of year visible from India will occur on 6th June 2012. Which no one alive today can see again in their life time as next Transit will occur in 11th December 2117
No
Opportunity to see a SOLAR ECLIPSE (till 2016 or 2019) covering Major parts of India
: The next best opportunity to
see a SOLAR ECLIPSE from Major parts of the India including Andhra Pradesh is on 2019 Dec 26th.
Because the solar eclipse in 2016 though visible in major parts India (including Andhra Pradesh)
begins and lasts only for few minutes close to horizon in early hours of March 9 2016. Wherein again only few
states in the country where sun rises early can appreciate this solar eclipse
of 2016.
We thank PTI friends for North-East states to witness solar eclipse tomorrow article published on 21st May 2012.
