Get ready for an astronomical spectacle on April 20th, as a rare hybrid solar eclipse dazzles the skies above Singapore! In this extraordinary celestial event, some locations will be treated to a total solar eclipse, while others will witness an annular one – all thanks to the intricate dance between the Moon’s orbit and Earth’s curvature.
Lucky observers in Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea will experience a breathtaking partial eclipse, as the Moon casts its shadow over only a portion of the Sun. In Singapore, prepare to be awestruck as the Moon obscures an average of 15% of the Sun’s disk at the peak of the eclipse.Â
Enhance your eclipse experience with a live planetarium show, ‘Exploring New Worlds,’ at the Centre’s Omni-Theatre, available at 10 AM and 1 PM.
Remember, safety first! Never view the eclipse with the naked eye. Protect your vision by using specialized solar filters to marvel at this extraordinary cosmic display.
Happening on 20 April 2023, 11am to 1pm. Science Centre Singapore. Details available here.Â
