Partial solar eclipse to grace sky in time for Father’s Day

A partial solar eclipse will grace the sky in time for Father’s Day tomorrow.

According to IMReady’s report, an annular solar eclipse can be seen in certain areas in Africa, China, and Asia.

However, in the Philippines, only a partial solar eclipse can be seen.

During a partial solar eclipse, only a certain portion of the moon’s shadow will fall on the Earth.

This can be viewed from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Aside from the eclipse, the summer solstice will also occur this Sunday.

The summer solstice is considered to have the longest daytime and the shortest nighttime during the entire year.

This means that daytime this Father’s Day will last for over 13 hours. – RC, GMA News
