Astronomical Study Discloses Solar Eclipse Details
Dr. Ashraf Shaker, head of the Astronomy Department at the National Institute for Astronomical Research, revealed that a total solar eclipse is a rare phenomenon that occurs when the size of the Moon and Earth align precisely with the positions and orbits of celestial bodies, allowing the Moon to completely cover the Sun's disk. He explained that the last total eclipse visible in Spain was in 1905, and that this event requires specific alignment angles between Earth's and the Moon's orbits and the Sun's rays, making its recurrence occur over long intervals. The phenomenon highlights the precision of our knowledge about the movement of celestial objects, as the timings of eclipses can be calculated with high accuracy. However, its occurrence is not visible from Egypt because full coverage of the Sun is only observable in certain locations. When it does happen, the eclipse is accompanied by a faint light and a glow on the horizon—a scene that attracts many enthusiasts around the world.
