Thread: Singapore Solar Eclipse Dec 26th 2019.

Singapore will get to enjoy a full solar eclipse on Boxing Day this year.

Singapore’s astronomy enthusiasts are preparing to feel the moon’s shadow on Dec. 26, when the next annular solar eclipse sweeps across Southeast Asia.


Although it will be visible to different degrees throughout the region, Singapore sits in a privileged position to see it best, and six viewing events are set to take place across the island.


The celestial event there is expected to start at 11:27am and go on for about three hours, reaching maximum effect at about 1:20pm.



“An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun’s center, leaving the Sun’s visible outer edges to form a ‘ring of fire’ or annulus around the Moon,” the Science Center wrote on its website. The center is hosting a viewing event at its Ecogarden from 11am to 3pm.

Anyone have plans to see it?

Nah. I'll be at the cricket

Aww. I'll be on a flight to KL. The eclipse will be over by the time my plane lands.

But I've seen 2 "almost full" solar eclipses, so I'm OK.

What kind of nutter looks directly at the sun?
