Will August 12 Solar Eclipse Be Visible in Pakistan?

The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has announced that a total solar eclipse will take place on August 12, an important astronomical event this year. During the total phase of the eclipse, the Moon will entirely cover the Sun for observers situated within the path of totality, which includes Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain. Partial phases of the eclipse will be visible in various parts of Europe, Africa, and North America, where the Moon will obscure a segment of the Sun.

However, SUPARCO has clarified that the solar eclipse will not be visible from any city in Pakistan. The phenomenon occurs when the Moon aligns between the Sun and Earth, blocking sunlight from reaching certain parts of our planet's surface. The visibility of the eclipse depends on one's geographical location in relation to the path of totality. While Pakistan's citizens will not be able to witness the event, those residing in regions falling within the path will have the opportunity to experience the celestial spectacle.
