Total solar eclipse 2019: where and when to see it
The new solar eclipse can be seen the following week in South American lands. In this way, we will be able to witness this incredible event, which had not been generated since 2017.
The next solar eclipse will happen on July 2 in part of Latin America. Also, what is most surprising is that it will be a total solar eclipse.
We must remember that the visibility of the eclipse and the times will vary with respect to our location, so it is necessary to know these types of aspects.
The duration of the total phase of the eclipse is calculated to be 4:30 minutes, although it will vary depending on the country. For example, the duration of its entirety in Chile will be 2:15 minutes ; while in Argentina it may be 2:11 minutes depending on the region.
On the other hand, you should also make sure to wear sunglasses with UV protection to avoid vision problems.
Experts recommend perceiving it only for a few seconds and then looking down. This will help us avoid damaging our visibility. Remember to perform this procedure even if you will be viewing it with UV-protected lenses.
Where to watch the 2019 total solar eclipse
This total solar eclipse can only be seen in certain Latin American countries, so the other continents must wait until 2020 or 2048, dates on which NASA has confirmed that this event will occur again.
