North Coast observers could see a partial solar eclipse on Thursday, September 1.
The eclipse began in mid-Atlantic and its line of totality stretched over central African countries and Madagascar, too far north to be visible in its entirety for local viewers.
The last time a partial solar eclipse occurred in Durban was in January 2009. Solar eclipses only occur during a new moon, when the moon moves between the Earth and the Sun and the three celestial bodies form a straight line: Earth – Moon –
