Every year the cosmos delights us with impressive astronomical events. From meteor showers to lunar eclipses that remind us of the amazing space we inhabit in the universe. Unsurprisingly, 2021 was filled with impressive universe events, we witnessed a lunar eclipse and now, to close the cycle, a bewitching total solar eclipse (the last of the year that you can see live).
A solar eclipse is undoubtedly an extraordinary event, few humans have been fortunate enough to observe and witness a phenomenon of this magnitude. In a certain sense, it is complex to experience them due to their short duration and, in most cases, because of the position of the Earth when it occurs.
For example, the 2021 total solar eclipse will only be visible in one region of the planet. In this case, the solar eclipse will be visible in Antarctica and the southern Atlantic Ocean. In those places it will be fully visible, it will start at 7:00 UTC and it will last about 1 hour and 6 minutes.
The places where the eclipse will have partial visibility will be in South Africa and some regions of Australia and New Zealand. In the Americas, the only areas with partial to minimal visibility will be the southern regions of Argentina and Chile.
The rest of the world will not have the opportunity to observe the solar eclipse from the sky. However, this does not mean that we cannot be amazed by the magic of darkness during the day. For that we recommend some online sites to follow the passage of the solar eclipse from your home. Unless you’re in Antarctica (which is unlikely) or the southern Atlantic Ocean, then get ready for a mind-blowing digital experience.
