On April 8, a total solar eclipse will occur in many parts of the world. Although this eclipse will not be visible in India, it will be visible in countries like the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Where the Eclipse Will Be Visible
Firstly, it’s important to note that this solar eclipse will begin from Texas, USA. It will then pass through other states in the country. People are excited about witnessing this eclipse because whenever a solar eclipse occurs, people observe it in different ways. Some reports claim that during the eclipse, mobile companies might experience network and connection problems.
Reason Behind the Disruption
Now, when it is found out that mobile phones might not work and could stop functioning during the solar eclipse, it’s obvious that people will be surprised. It’s important to clarify that there is no astronomical reason behind the shutdown. The reason is that when a large number of people gather in one place to witness an event like a solar eclipse, the mobile network cannot function properly due to the congestion.
In today’s era of the internet and social media, everyone likes to share everything on social media. Therefore, millions of people will want to capture this sight on their phones and gather in one place. This could lead to problems such as phones not working in crowded areas.
Special Preparation by Telecom Companies
To ensure that people don’t face any issues with connectivity and network during the solar eclipse, telecom companies have started special preparations. Backup systems have been put in place by the companies to ensure that the network functions properly even during bad weather or when a large number of people gather in one place. Whether this warning about phones not working during the solar eclipse proves to be accurate or not will only be known on April 8.
