Astronomical science experts said that although the mainland could not see the total solar eclipse, the interested public can learn about this grand occasion through the Internet, television and other platforms or the wonderful pictures of the photographer on the spot.

When a total solar eclipse occurs, the Moon's shadow on Earth is about 200 kilometers wide (the total eclipse zone), and if you happen to be in it, you can be very lucky to see a total solar eclipse.

Xiu Lipeng said that the last time the mainland saw a total solar eclipse was on July 22, 2009, and the next time it was on March 20, 2034, but only a few areas in Xinjiang, Tibet and Qinghai caught a little tail before sunset, making it more difficult to observe. The total solar eclipse that will occur on the morning of September 2, 2035, is very much worth looking forward to, and its total eclipse belt passes through the northwest, north China, and the urban area of Beijing.
