November 23, 1965 — Annular Solar Eclipse — Pokhara
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Pokhara. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (IST) for Pokhara.
| Phase | Time | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
06:54:38 Tue, Nov 23 | Partial eclipse beginsThe moment the edge of the Moon touches the edge of the Sun is called first contact. The Sun is close to the horizon, so make sure you have free sight to the ESE. | 117° | 5.8° | |
|
08:06:55 Tue, Nov 23 | Annularity beginsThe moment the Sun forms a ring around the Moon is called second contact. | 127° | 19.1° | |
|
08:07:14 Tue, Nov 23 | Maximum eclipseThe deepest point of the eclipse, with the Sun at its most hidden. | 127° | 19.4° | |
|
08:07:32 Tue, Nov 23 | Annularity endsThe moment the Sun’s ring around the Moon is broken is called third contact. | 127° | 19.4° | |
|
09:30:37 Tue, Nov 23 | Partial eclipse endsThe moment the edge of the Moon leaves the edge of the Sun is called fourth contact. | 143° | 32.2° |
* Timings for the beginning & end of partial eclipse, the beginning & end of annularity, and maximum eclipse are accurate to within a few seconds. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 35.9 seconds.
Timings for other events are approximate—they are included here as a rough guide to features that might be observable. The icons show the position of the Moon against the Sun at each stage.
How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
This annular solar eclipse was fully visible in Pokhara. Observers there could experience the “ring of fire” that is characteristic for this kind of solar eclipse. This was a rare and spectacular event that could only be experienced along a relatively narrow strip on the Earth's surface. The eclipse was also visible in other areas, but the Moon did not move centrally in front of the Sun there and the “ring of fire” was not visible.
