Partial solar eclipse 2023: April 30 will mark the first solar eclipse of 2023, although it will be a partial one as The Sun, Moon and Earth will not be perfectly aligned during the event. Parts of southern South America, Antarctica, and the Pacific and Southern Oceans will witness the celestial event just before and during sunset, but it will not be visible in India.
