The first solar eclipse of the year 2022 would occur on April 30, and it would be a partial eclipse only visible from a few places in the Southern Hemisphere.
During this upcoming solar eclipse, the dark shadow cone of the moon, from where a total eclipse can be seen, will completely miss the Earth, passing approximately 750 miles (1,200 kilometres) below the South Pole, space.com reports.
However, the moon's outer shadow, or penumbra, will scrape a part of the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in a partial eclipse that will be visible near sunset across a swath of the South Pacific and Southern Oceans, as well as in southern and western portions of South America, including Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, southern Peru, southern Bolivia, western Paraguay and a tiny slice of Brazil.
The eclipse will start at 11:45pm (Bangladesh time) on Saturday.
The eclipse will not be visible from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan, Fiji, Mauritius, UAE and other Asian countries. It would also not be visible from Africa, Australia, Europe and North America continents.
