The darkest part of a total solar eclipse is almost as dark as night.
For example, a total solar eclipse will actually take place on March 9, 2016.
However, the entire eclipse will only be visible in the middle of the ocean.
Other regions, such as India, will be able to view a partial solar eclipse on that date.
You notice something off about the sunlight as you reach totality, saidSarah Jaeggli, a NASA space scientist.
The eclipse will be visible to people in South Asia, East Asia, and Australia.
During total eclipse, the moon would cover the complete disk of the sun.
This is probably because of the accurate position and size of both the sun and moon.
This means that people on Earth see them as the same size in the sky.
The total solar eclipse is expected to occur over the Pacific Ocean.
The maximum point will happen at about 1:59 a.m. UTC (8:59 a.m. EST) on March 9.
The last time this total solar eclipse happened was during on June 8, 1918.
