A Total Solar Eclipse will take place on 8 – 9 March 2016. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth’s surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. It will have a magnitude of 1.0450 visible across an area of Pacific Ocean, beginning in Indonesia, and ending in the northern Pacific Ocean.
If viewed from east of the international date line, for instance from Hawaii, the eclipse will take place on March 8, (local time).
On March 9 2016 a large area of the Pacific, covering Indonesia, Malaysia, but also large parts of South-East Asia and Australia will witness a partial solar eclipse. It will be total in Indonesia and the central Pacific, starting at sunrise over Sumatra and ending at sunset north of Hawaii. In the Eastern Pacific Ocean the totality will exceed a duration of more than 4 minutes. The yellow lines indicate the 50% partial eclipsed lines.
In most parts of India and Nepal the sun will rise partially eclipsed. Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Papua New guinea will witness more than 50% partial eclipse. Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand will see about 50% partial eclipsed sun. Australia, China, Japan and Alaska will get less than 50% partial eclipse.
The largest city along the path of totality is Palembang in southern Sumatra (423 km from Jakarta and 478 km fromSingapore).
