Solar eclipse - February 15, 2018 at 23 hours 52 minutes.
New Moon - February 16, 2018 at 00 hours 05 minutes 08 seconds.
And also tomorrow is the New Year according to the Chinese calendar.
Chinese New Year has long been the main and longest holiday in the Middle Kingdom and other East Asian countries. Unlike its Western counterpart, there is no constant start date for the Chinese New Year, and every year it is appointed at different times.
The first day of the holiday in China falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice (that is, after December 21). In the Gregorian calendar, this usually corresponds to one of the days between January 21 and February 21. The celebration usually lasts 15 days.
Thus, next year on the Chinese calendar will come February 16, 2018 and will last until February 4, 2019. And it is planned to celebrate its offensive in China from February 16 to March 2. However, officially the Chinese will rest only seven days - from 15 to 21 February.
