In India, the eclipse started roughly around 8:00 am but wasn’t easily visible in many parts of the country.
As several people observed the last solar eclipse of the year 2019, pictures of the annular eclipse, which happens when the moon is farthest from the Earth, poured in on social media.
Seen in Saudi Arabia, India, Sumatra, Borneo Asia, netizens were able to capture the “dark disk”, which forms when the moon does not completely block the sun. In India, while the eclipse started roughly at around 8:00 am, it wasn’t easily visible in many parts of the country.
