The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) said on Thursday that there would be a partial Solar eclipse across the country on Sunday. Dr Felix Ale, Head of Media and Corporate
Communications, made the disclosure in a
statement made available to the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja. “A partial solar eclipse will be visible all over the
country with different degree of totality to occur
on Sunday, Feb. 26,’’ he said. According to Ale, the highest degree of obscurity
in the country during the natural occurrence will
be observed in the southern part of Nigeria,
particularly Port Harcourt, Uyo and Calabar. He said these areas were expected to have about
33 per cent obscurity, while the lowest degree
obscurity would be about nine per cent in the
northern part of Nigeria, particularly in Kebbi. Ale noted that in the South-West, the level of
obscurity would be 23 per cent at about 5.42 p.m.
and 6.30 p.m. He, however, said it would be recording 28 to 30
per cent between 4.45 p.m. and 6.33 p.m. in the
South-East. “Meanwhile, the level of obscurity in Abuja, the
Federal Capital City (FCT) will be 20 per cent
between 4.54 p.m. and 6.30 p.m.,” he said.

Thursday Jan.23 – NiMet He stressed that the solar eclipse would be
observed across the nation, thereby making each
part of the country a great site for viewing the
eclipse at different degree of obscurity. According to him, the solar disc will be covered by
the moon as seen from the earth and the eclipse
will be visible as much as there is clear sky without
rain or cloud. He, however, said there was no cause for alarm or
reason to panic as the solar eclipse was a natural
occurrence and should be seen as part of the
beauties of nature. Source: NAN
