The particular phenomenon will take place on July 2 and will be fully seen in the center of the country. In the NDA region, it will only be visible at 75%.

A total solar eclipse is an event that occurs when the Moon pbades directly between the Sun and the Earth. Every 18 months there is a total eclipse somewhere in the world, but it can be many years before it happens in the same place. The last total solar eclipse took place on August 21, 2017.
Unlike lunar eclipses, visible from the whole of the Earth's hemisphere, the shadow of the Moon traces a narrow path, called totality. On July 2 this year, the route will cross six Argentine provinces, including Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Santa Fe, San Juan, Mendoza and San Luis. The cities crossed include San Juan, Río Cuarto, Dolores, Villa Dolores, Merlo and Luján, but they will also be partially visible in other regions, such as Salta, where they will be 75%.
The researchers explain the total solar eclipse according to the size of the Sun and the Moon and their distance from our planet. The sun is 400 times bigger than the moon, but the moon is about 400 times farther from the Earth. Because of this coincidence, the moon seems large enough to completely cover the sun during the total solar eclipse. As the Moon moves on its orbit at a speed of 2700 km / h, it will cross the Sun completely in 3 hours and 15 minutes.
After this year's total solar eclipse, the next will take place on December 14, 2020. It will breed in Argentina and Chile, but further south than this year's eclipse ride. It is rare that for two consecutive years, a solar eclipse is visible from the same countries.

The solar eclipse will start in Chile. In La Serena and La Silla, the partial eclipse will start around 3:22 pm. The entire eclipse part starts around 4.38. The full eclipse will last up to about 5.47. In the Argentine cities of San Juan and Río Cuarto, the eclipse will start at 16:26. and 16:30, respectively. The entire part of the eclipse will start at around 17:40. Other towns near the trail of the totality will be able to see the partial eclipse at similar times in the afternoon.
Professional astronomers are preparing to study the solar corona during the solar eclipse in July. However, amateur viewers can observe the partial solar eclipse in different parts of Argentina without having to travel long distances to reach the path of the whole.
An estimated 20 million people live in the area or near the path of the eclipse. People in Argentina who live far away can see the partial solar eclipse. However, to be able to observe the solar eclipse, it is important to be sure to use an ISO certified sunscreen to protect your eyes.
For example, the inhabitants of Buenos Aires will see 99% of the Sun's moon-covered disk; Residents in the north of the country, for example in Salta, will have a blackout of about 75%. During the totality phase, when the Moon completely covers the Sun's shiny disk, the sky becomes very dark, making the stars and planets brighter clearly visible. The temperature becomes noticeably lower, as birds and animals return to their nests. The Earth remains motionless.
