Explained: Why India Will Miss Second Solar Eclipse This Year

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking some or all of the sun’s light from reaching Earth. This can only happen during a new moon when the sun and moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. The first solar eclipse this year took place on April 8. With the end of the eclipse, its sutak period also ended. This first solar eclipse was not seen in India. Do you know when the second solar eclipse will take place in 2024? Will this eclipse be seen in India?

Astrologer, numerologist and astro-vastu expert, Dr. Gaurav Kumar Dixit says that the second solar eclipse this year will occur on October 2. The time of this eclipse will be from 09:13 PM to 03:17 AM the next day. This eclipse will be very long and will last for about 6 hours. The second solar eclipse of the year will also not be seen in India as the eclipse will take place at night.

Usually, the sutak period starts 12 hours before the eclipse. No auspicious work should be done during this time. The astrologer advises pregnant women to take many precautions during the sutak period. If the sutak period of the eclipse is not valid in India, people do not need to take any precautions. If you want, you can take the name of God during this time. Cruel acts, use of needle and thread, cooking food, etc. should be avoided. This sutak and eclipse period is auspicious only for worship, bhajan and tantric rituals. Chanting a mantra during this time will give 10 times more results.

The second solar eclipse of the year will not be visible in India, but people will be able to witness this amazing astronomical event in many other countries including the Arctic, Argentina, Fiji, Chile, Peru, Brazil, New Zealand, Antarctica, Pacific Ocean, South America, etc. When the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth as it revolves around the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs.

Experts say you shouldn’t try to observe a solar eclipse with the naked eye, but what if your smartphone could become your eyes and capture the moment for you? That’s right, smartphone cameras have evolved so much these days that capturing a solar eclipse isn’t impossible.
