A mesmerizing partial solar eclipse has brought joy to skywatchers across Europe, Africa, North America, and the Atlantic region.
This awe-inspiring event occurs when the Moon partially covers the Sun, leaving a crescent-shaped ‘bitten’ appearance. The timing and visibility of this cosmic show vary by location, with some regions experiencing it at sunrise or sunset for an added dramatic effect.
Experts advise using proper safety measures—certified eclipse glasses, pinhole projectors, or solar filters—to avoid potential eye damage while observing the eclipse. Solar eclipses have captured human imagination for centuries, inspiring cultural myths and advancing scientific discoveries.
The next major solar eclipse to mark on your calendars is scheduled for August 12, 2026, which will be a total eclipse visible from parts of Europe and the Arctic.
