A Special Event: Ningaloo Eclipse!
Recommended for Preparatory Grades
A rare and exciting event is happening on April 20, 2023, called the Ningaloo Eclipse. This is a type of solar eclipse where the moon passes in front of the Sun, causing the sky to get dark.
But this isn’t just any solar eclipse, it’s a hybrid solar eclipse!
This means that it will change from an annular eclipse, where the Sun looks like a ring of fire, to a total eclipse, where the Sun is completely covered by the Moon.
Important Details
- The Ningaloo Eclipse will only be visible from a small area in Western Australia, near Exmouth.
- This is the only place where people will be able to see the total eclipse.
- Other places around the world will only see a partial eclipse.
- It’s important to remember that you should never look directly at the Sun during an eclipse, because it can hurt your eyes.
- Even if you can’t see the eclipse from where you live, you can still watch it online through a live stream.
- The Ningaloo Eclipse is a very rare event that only happens once every 400 years, so it’s very special for anyone who gets to see it.
