Taking about the celestial phenomenon in India, the former director of MP Birla Planetarium said the maximum solar eclipse for India will be around 2.11 am on May 1 and end at 4.07 am.

As it will be nighttime here hence no one will be able to see the cosmic event, he said. Duari said, however, Kolkata and its neighbourhood can witness the next partial solar eclipse falling on October 25 and the partial lunar eclipse on November 8. The degree of the eclipse visible from Kolkata will be small as the obscuration of the solar disc will be at the most 4% at the maximum, he said.
