What is so special about this date ? 11 th June 1983 was the date when a total solar eclipse happened over Indonesia. But how did it happen ?
It is interesting to learn how an eclipse happens. We know that the moon goes
around earth, don't we ? And the earth goes around the sun, does not it ? When the moon passes between the sun and the earth, the shadow of the moon falls on the earth. In this part of the earth people do not have sun light. We call this a solar eclipse because we cannot see a part or the whole of the sun. In fact, a solar eclipse is not a rare event, because it happensance every eighteen months. However, a total solar eclipse, that is when the sun become totally d ark, happens only once in 350 years at any given place.
The 1983 total eclipse began at sunrise in the Indian Ocean. The shadow moved quickly across the ocean towards the east, and passed Java, bringing darkness right in the middle of the day.
