Kathmandu: Today marks the last solar eclipse of 2024, set to begin at 9:27 PM Nepali time and concluding at 3:32 AM the following morning. This eclipse is particularly notable due to a conjunction involving the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Ketu, with the axes of Rahu and Ketu influencing the Pisces and Virgo zodiac signs. Additionally, the Sun, Mars, and Ketu will play significant roles during this event.

Unfortunately, this solar eclipse will not be visible in Nepal. Observers in the northern regions of South America, as well as areas over the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic, and Antarctica, will have the best views.

Key locations for visibility include Argentina, Uruguay, Buenos Aires, Beqa Island, French Polynesia, southern Fiji, New Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.
