KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will experience a partial solar eclipse on April 20 in conjunction with the hybrid solar eclipse phenomenon that occurs north of the Australian continent.
The Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry said Malaysians in Sabah can view the phenomenon from 11am to 2pm while those in the peninsula can view it from 11 am to 1 pm.
According to the ministry, viewing programmes of the partial solar eclipse will be held at the Kuala Lumpur National Planetarium and in Tawau, with eclipse glasses distributed for free at both locations to enable the public to view the phenomenon safely. The ministry also reminded the public not to look at the sun directly without the use of special filters as it could damage the retina of the eye, resulting in permanent blindness.
"The visibility of the partial solar eclipse also depends on weather conditions in certain locations when the phenomenon occurs on April 20.
