Second solar eclipse of 2023 to grace skies today
Arab countries and Pakistan will not witness this solar eclipse.


Lahore: The second solar eclipse of 2023 is set to grace the skies today, although it will regrettably remain unseen in Arab countries and Pakistan.
However, North America is in for a celestial treat, as this astronomical phenomenon will be visible in that region.
The breathtaking spectacle will paint the skies along the western edges of Texas, providing a mesmerizing view.
During the eclipse, the moon will gracefully glide in front of the sun, temporarily obscuring its radiant face and creating a captivating "ring of fire" effect.
According to NASA, this solar eclipse will unfold over the course of three hours, with the spellbinding "ring of fire" being visible for approximately six minutes.
Furthermore, 2023 has more astronomical wonders in store, with the second lunar eclipse of the year slated for October 28.
The eclipse will commence at 11:02 pm, reach its peak during a total lunar eclipse at 1:14 am, and conclude on October 29 at 3:26 am.
Unlike the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse will be visible from Pakistan, offering an opportunity for stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts to witness this captivating event.
