Partial Solar Eclipse to Take Place on Monday Morning

A partial solar eclipse will be visible from all locations in the nation on Monday morning.

The Korea Astronomy and Space Institute said a partial solar eclipse where the sun will be partially covered by the moon – up to 80 percent at one point – will take place from 6:23 a.m. to 8:48 a.m. on Monday.

The sun will be most obscured by the moon passing between it and the earth around 7:30 a.m.

From some southern areas in Japan and western areas of the United States, an annular eclipse will take place where the sun and moon will be almost exactly in line, so that the sun will appear as a bright ring around the moon.

The next observable eclipse from the Korean Peninsula is expected to take place in March, 2016.
