silent day take place only once a year, while solar eclipse is less often than silent day
Nyepi Day in Bali is a New Year’s celebration unlike anywhere else on the planet. Also known as Bali’s celebration of the Saka New Year and the Bali Day of Silence, it is ultimately the quietest day of the year, when all of its inhabitants abide by a set of local rules that brings all routine activities to a complete halt. The roads all over Bali are void of any traffic and nobody steps outside of his or her home premises.
Most Balinese and visitors regard it as a much-anticipated occasion. Expats and those coming from neighbouring islands prefer escaping Bali for the day due to the restrictions that surround this observance. Some visitors check coinciding dates ahead before their Bali trip, avoiding it altogether. Largely, Nyepi is worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime, especially since the preceding and following days are full of rare highlights!
5 ways to look at the solar event safely.
Use binoculars to make a pinhole viewer
Mirror the eclipse
Use a colander
Grab a bucket
Make a pinhole projector
Although the territory track Total Solar Eclipse April 2013 over a little later, the young astronomers need not be disappointed. Therefore, a solar eclipse in 2023 is a hybrid solar eclipse.
According to astronomical observer Madhonna Nur Aini, hybrid solar eclipse is the rarest type of solar eclipse.
Women who familiarly called Donna, said hybrid eclipse is a fusion of the ring eclipse total solar eclipse.
"On one occasion, a solar eclipse and GMT ring," he said. So, after that elicits GMT corona, eclipse ring with unobstructed sun moon shape round like a ring.
To note, during the 21st century, Indonesia will only be traversed twice hybrid solar eclipse. First on 20 April 2023 and the second on 25 November 2049.
After 20 April 2023, a total solar eclipse can only be seen again on April 20, 2042. Interestingly, two total solar eclipse occurred on the same date, ie 20 April. Therefore, the difference between the two can be declared right round 19 years

A total solar eclipse will take place on March 8-9, 2016. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun,
thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger
than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface,
with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. It will have a magnitude of 1.0450 visible across an area of
Pacific Ocean, beginning in Indonesia, and ending in the northern Pacific Ocean.
The total eclipse will only be visible on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Sulawesi, and in parts of Pacific Ocean, according to NASA.
Other parts of Southeast Asia, northern and eastern Australia, Hawaii and part of Alaska will get a partial eclipse.
NASA says this year's eclipse is also notable because scientists will be using it to test out technology they say will be pivotal for studying another eclipse
next year over the United States. On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will move straight across the center of the U.S. at midday. After that,
there won't be another total solar eclipse visible to people in this country until 2045.
If viewed from east of the international date line, for instance from Hawaii, the eclipse will take place on March 8, (local time).
The Indonesian region has a 60-70% likelihood of cloud cover in March; clear skies are more likely further to the East in the Pacific.
However, in February 11, 2016, Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) forecasted that western parts of Indonesia
have less likelihood of cloud cover and 20 percent chance of rain in westerly cities such as Bengkulu, Palembang, Palangkaraya, and Palu,
less than its eastern parts during eclipse with a 90 percent chance of rain in Ternate and Maba with an accuracy of 65 percent.
For those viewing on the ground, it's dangerous to look directly at a solar eclipse because powerful rays can damage the retina and lead to vision loss.
Protective goggles (not just standard sunglasses) or a pinhole camera are required for safe viewing.
These events are helpful for researchers who want to get a clearer understanding of the sun itself. During a total solar eclipse,
you can make out the sun's corona, its faint outer atmosphere. Scientists are usually unable to make out this area given the sun's glaring brightness.
Knowing more about the corona is important as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can affect satellites and power grids, burst forth from this area.
