Solar Eclipse 2019: Date, times, where solar eclipse is to be seen live and more
When we say goodbye to 2019, a heavenly treat will await you just before the start of the new year. It is the moment that the Moon would overtake the Sun to create a’ ring of fire’ in the sky a day after you celebrate Christmas. The last solar eclipse of 2019–or just the last solar eclipse of the year (called Hindi “Surya Grahan”) –will be held at places like India, Australia, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and Singapore on Thursday, December 26. The removal of the Sunlight from the Moon would create a ring-solar eclipse, rather than a complete solar eclipse.
What is an annual solar eclipse?
When the new moon blocks the sun’s light, a total solar eclipse is usually brought upon the earth. But this time, it will not, as the Moon is now quite further than the Earth’s average and once it is crossed over, there will be a “negative shadow” or what is called literally the tumour in the shape of a fire ring. The Solar eclipse is known.

The planet will see the first lunar eclipse of 2020 on January 10, just 15 days after the last solar eclipse of 2019. But because of its penumbral existence, which is difficult to determine from the normal full moon session, the eclipse can not be observed.
