Video launched by NASA confirmed a complete photo voltaic eclipse as seen from Western Antarctica on Saturday (4 December).
The earth’s southernmost continent experiences continuous daylight from mid-October till early April, however the eclipse introduced a couple of minutes of whole darkness.
A photo voltaic eclipse happens when the Moon strikes between the Solar and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth, totally or partially blocking the Solar’s gentle in some areas.
For a complete eclipse to happen the Solar, Moon, and Earth have to be in a direct line. The one place that this whole eclipse could possibly be seen was Antarctica.
The eclipse was seen partially from South Africa, Chile, New Zealand and Australia on Saturday.
