As the Moon partially obscures the Sun, people in Europe, North America, and parts of Africa and Asia will experience this rare astronomical spectacle. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, but doesn’t perfectly align. This creates a visual where only a portion of the Sun is hidden, making it look like a glowing crescent or as if something took a bite out of it.
The degree of the Sun’s coverage will vary depending on location. Different regions will witness unique shapes and timings of the eclipse.
