In 2023 and 2024, solar eclipses arrive in Mexico: Doctor José Franco In the next two years we will witness two astronomical events that you don’t see every day. It’s regarding a annular eclipse of Sun, in 2023, and a total eclipse Sol, in 2024, which you should not miss, because it will not be until 2052 when this phenomenon will be sighted once more. Tomorrow, Friday, April 8, the doctor in astrophysics Joseph Franco will give a conference in which we will know all the details of this event.
During the talk “Mexico under the shadow of the Moon”, the member of the Institute of Astronomy (IA), together with the “Mexico National Eclipses Committee”, will talk regarding these eclipses that will take place in the next two years. This committee is made up of astronomers independents, amateurs, astronomical research and dissemination institutions, and a plethora of experts from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

In a chat with THE UNIVERSALFranco invited readers to be part of this conversation, which will be broadcast live here: https://twitter.com/EclipsesMexicosince both eclipses will be observable throughout the country and following their sighting, we will have to wait 28 years to observe them once more.
Although the doctor explained that it is not dangerous to observe them, safety measures must be taken during their assessment.
Annular eclipse of 2023
This eclipse will take place on October 14, and will be mostly visible in the area that includes the Yucatan Peninsula, Campeche and Yucatan. In the other parts of our country we will be able to observe it only partially. His sighting will last almost four hours and will start at 10:45 and 10:51 in Campeche and Chetumal, respectively, and then hide at 14:09 and 14:17.
2024 total eclipse
Today, in two years, on April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur that will cross the northern part of the country, between the states of Sinaloa, Durango and Coahuila. In our city and the rest it will only be partially appreciated. In Mazatlán and Torreón it will be observed at 10:51 and 11:09, and will end at 13:32 and 14:41, respectively.
The last total solar eclipse was seen 31 years ago, on July 11, 1991. It was also one of the longest in studied history, so this event will be the most spectacular astronomical event.
