(ANSA) - BUENOS AIRES, DEC 13 - Argentine Patagonia will host a total solar eclipse tomorrow in broad daylight that will allow those who find themselves in some parts of the provinces of Neuquén and Río Negro to see the stars at midday.

The news agency Telam writes today.


    Shortly after 1pm (5pm Italian time), the moon will pass in front of the sun and cover it completely causing total blackout in a transversal belt of about 100 kilometers that includes the localities of Aluminé, Junín de los Andes, Las Coloradas, Piedra del Águila, El Cuy , Sierra Colorada, Ramos Mexia, Valcheta, San Antonio, Las Grutas and El Cóndor.


    The Río Negro Ministry of Tourism had predicted that, in the absence of the coronavirus pandemic, at least 70,000 people would be concentrated in the eclipse area.

But in the current circumstances, permission to move to Patagonia has only been granted to fewer than 200 scientists from around the world.


    Leonardo Pellizza, president of the Argentine Astronomy Association, indicated that during the phenomenon "the solar crown and its structure" will be seen.

It will also be possible, he added, "to observe the chromosphere (visible to the naked eye only at the beginning and at the end of total eclipses)" and, outside the solar structure, it will be visible "the phenomenon of Grains of Baily, small luminous flares that occur when the last rays of the sun pass through the valleys of the moon ".


    The eclipse will be broadcast live on the Centro cultural de la Ciencia YouTube channel (C3) starting at 11.30am (3.30pm Italian time).
