Why were people ready to cover long distances for an event lasting just 1 minutes and 15 seconds? This must be due to some “virus” or because of the unique charm of a total solar eclipse (TSE).

The sign of the beginning of the month in the Islamic Hijriah calendar is the appearance of the hilal (crescent moon). Meanwhile, a solar eclipse is the sign of the Moon’s entry into its new phase.

Observing and understanding a solar eclipse is not just introducing scientific facts, but is deeper and broader: building and strengthening the ability to think rationally.

A hybrid solar eclipse will occur on Thursday. Before any scientific explanation was made, various folk tales and myths about the eclipse abounded.
