Three Solar Eclipses Within One Month...

New Delhi, May 31 (Agencies): It is not rare to experience the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse occuring almost together. But this year three eclipses are due to occur between 1st June and 1st July.

Out of the three eclipses, there will be two solar and one lunar eclipse. Astronomers and astrologers are very excited about this historic event which is happening after many years. But unfortunately only the lunar eclipse will be visible from India.
