Astronomical science experts said that although the mainland cannot 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 on-site photographers. When the three celestial bodies of the Earth are on the same straight line, a total solar eclipse may occur when the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth, and when a total eclipse occurs, the shadow left by the Moon on the Earth is about 200 kilometers wide (total eclipse belt), and if you happen to be in it, you can be very lucky to see a total solar eclipse
