The last solar eclipse of 2020 is occurring today (December 14) and will happen for two whole minutes and 10 seconds, NASA confirmed. However, this astronomical spectacle will be visible only for people living in South America, particularly in regions of Chile and Argentina.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon aligns with the Sun's path and completely blocks it from view. The total solar eclipse would be visible only in regions of Chile and Argentina. Additionally, the partial solar eclipse is also set to happen today and will be visible in select regions of South America, south-west African countries, and also from Antarctica.
Last Solar Eclipse: Timing In India
Unfortunately, the last solar eclipse of 2020 won't be visible in India. This is because the solar eclipse will happen late in the evening, where the time will be around 7:30 PM in India. The peak of the solar eclipse will happen at 9:43 PM and finally ends at 12:23 AM on December 15. This means, it's going to be completely dark and won't be visible in India.
