Annular Eclipse To Occur In Nigeria On September 1 by oloriooko(m): 12:38pm On Aug 21, 2016
According to National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), an annular eclipse will occur in all parts of the country with different degrees of totality on Thursday, September 1st, 2016. Here are the facts.



This was made known in a statement released by the Head, Media and Corporate Communications of National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Felix Ale yesterday August 16th.

The statement says the highest degree of obscurity in Nigeria during the annular eclipse would be in the Southern part of Nigeria, particularly in Lagos, where it was expected to have 80 percent obscurity, while the lowest degree of obscurity would be about 45 per cent and this would be observed in the Northern part of the country, particularly in Sokoto. in Abuja, the annular eclipse will be observed at about 60%.

The eclipse is expected to occur between 7.15 a.m. and 10.03 a.m, with slight variations in actual timing across the country.

In Lagos, the first contact will occur at about 7.15 a.m, while the maximum eclipse will occur at around 8.30 a.m. and will end by 10.03 a.m.

The eclipse is expected to commence in Abuja around 7.17 a.m, with maximum eclipse to be recorded at about 8.32 a.m. and the eclipse will end around 10.00 a.m.

NASRDA says the eclipse is not a spiritual issue but a natural occurrence that can be accurately predicted by science. It warned that nobody should observe eclipse with unclad eyes as such act can lead to permanent damage to the eyes. It also appealed to the general public not to panic or attach any mystical interpretations to this event.
