A total solar eclipse is a phenomenon when the Sun’s rays are blocked by the Moon, the Moon’s shadow falls on Earth. The area of the Earth that is under the shadow of the Moon’s core (umbra) will experience a total solar eclipse.

Weather permitting, the first location on the North American continent will experience the eclipse total sun is the Pacific coast of Mexico at around 11.07 am,” NASA wrote in the official pagequoted Monday (8/1).
NASA explains the path of the eclipse continues from Mexico, enters the United States in Texas, and crosses Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said that a total solar eclipse does not occur every year. Head of Potential Geophysics and Time Signs, Hendra Suwarta Suprihatin, said that GMT depends on the position of the Moon, Earth and Sun.
“Across the world, it cannot be said to happen every year because it depends on the position of the Moon, Earth and Sun,” said Hendra some time ago.
Hendra said that GMT does not occur in the same location. At the same location, he said it would repeat itself in about 350 years.
GMT can be watched again in Indonesia on April 20 2042. The locations to watch GMT in Indonesia at that time are in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
