A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on parts of Earth.
The solar eclipse will occur on Feb 15, 2018 at approximately 1:51 PM UTC. However, the exact time and duration of the eclipse will vary depending on your location.
The solar eclipse on Feb 15, 2018 will be visible in parts of South America, the Pacific, the Atlantic, and Antarctica. The path of totality, where the sun is completely blocked by the moon, will pass over southern Chile and Argentina.
No, it is not safe to look directly at the solar eclipse without proper eye protection. The intense light from the sun can cause eye damage, even during an eclipse. It is important to use special eclipse glasses or other approved viewing methods to safely observe the eclipse.
Solar eclipses occur approximately every 18 months, but they are not visible from all parts of Earth every time. It is estimated that a solar eclipse can be seen from a specific location on Earth about once every 375 years.
