A very big astronomical event is going to happen soon. The first solar eclipse of the year 2022 is about to happen. On April 30, there will be a partial solar eclipse across the world.

Significantly, 'Black Moon' is a rare event in astronomy and in the year 2021 it could not happen even once. According to SPACE.com, there is no single definition of a 'black moon'. But on most occasions the term is used to refer to any event associated with the new moon, because during the new moon phase, the moon is always black. Because of the black appearance of the moon, it is called 'Black Moon'.

Solar Eclipse 2022: Time
According to Indian time, the solar eclipse will start at 12:15 pm on the night of April 30, which will last till 4:7 am in the morning. According to NASA, the Moon will cast only the outer part of its shadow on the Sun. Because of this, it will be a partial solar eclipse.
