Astronomy enthusiasts and sky gazers will be able to watch five eclipses this year, but only two of these will be visible in India. The celestial events will start with a total solar eclipse on March 9, which will be partially visible in North East, Ujjain based Jiwaji Observatory’s Superintendent Rajendraprakash Gupt told PTI. Later, a penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on March 23, but it would not be visible in India, he said. Another penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on August 18 and an annular solar eclipse will occur on September 1, both of which will again not be visible. However, lunar eclipse will occur on September 16 and will be visible.
