The president of the Jeddah Astronomical Society, Majid Abu Zahra, said that the Earth witnessed Sunday 30 Rabee II 1440 corresponding to January 6, 2019 according to the calendar of Um Al-Qura as a partial solar sunset unless for scenes in Saudi Arabia or the Arab world that lasts 4 hours and 14 minutes, which is the first eclipse of this year. .
Depending on the timing of Saudi Arabia, the Earth's partial eclipse will start at 2:34 am with the sunrise in Asia and the eclipse will move east and peaking at 4:41 am finish at 6:48 with sunset in the Alutian Islands in Alaska.
The eclipse will be visible in the eastern parts of Asia and the North Pacific and will be the best place to see in northern Russia, where the solar disk will cover 62% of the moon.
Unlike the lunar eclipse, the solar eclipse requires special surveillance equipment, such as eyeglasses or filters for telescopes and binoculars for eye safety.
During the solar eclipse, the moon reaches the conjunctive phase at 4:28 am, moving from east to west, ending an orbital cycle around the Earth and beginning a new cycle.
He confirmed that most monthly conjugations that are easy to program and accurately can not be considered as an astronomical phenomenon, called (invisible association), but that this month will be the alignment of the sun and the moon and the Earth , the solar eclipse is therefore a special case of conjugation called "visual coupling".
We know every month that the moon is in the sun, but there is no solar eclipse because the level of its orbit is about 5 degrees for the level of rotation of the earth around the sun, so that the moon passes north or south of the solar disk and does not occur eclipse, according to the statement of the president of the astronomical society.
During the half-month, the moon moves around the Earth north of the zodiac and in the other half south of the zodiac.
He said, "Thus, twice a month, the moon is at points called knots, and if the moon moves from north to south of the zodiac, it is called descending knot." When it moves from south to North, it is called ascending knot.When the mocha and the moon are getting closer to one of the two knots, the eclipse of the sun occurs "He said.
"Usually, but not always, the next solar eclipse takes place six months after the eclipse of the previous eclipse.Another solar eclipse takes place on July 2, 2019. During this year, there are 13 moons and three sunspots, two lunar eclipses ". Similarly, the lunar eclipse is often repeated after six lunar months. Another lunar eclipse will occur on July 16, 2019 or two weeks after the July 2, 2019 total eclipse.
"As the first solar eclipse takes place as early as 2019, this will leave enough time for a third solar eclipse to occur before the end of the year, when a rare solar eclipse will occur on December 26th. 2019. "
The solar eclipse occurs almost two weeks before the lunar eclipse. Thus, later in the month of January 21, a total eclipse of the moon will occur in its general form with the sunrise in Arab North Africa and partly in Iraq, in the Levant and in some parts of the Arabian Peninsula.
