Solar eclipse visible from Romania

On October 3 a sun eclipse will be partially visible from Romania, according to the Romanian Academy's Astronomy Institute.

In Bucharest, the eclipse will start at 10.15 a.m. and will last until 12.50 a.m., reaching its maximum level at 12.32, when the sun's disc will be covered more than half, which is the maximum coverage visible from Romania.

The eclipse will also be visible from Northern Portugal, Spain, Sudan, Algeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tunis.

The part of the sun disk that will remain uncovered during the eclipse resembles a ring, as the shadow made by the moon's passing in front of the sun will not touch the Earth's surface.

Next March a total eclipse of the sun, with a longer time than the one visible in Romania on August 1999 will take place. The moment when the sun will be totally covered will last over four minutes.
