Pics Show Partial Solar Eclipse in Skies Over US, UK & Europe
On Saturday, the Northern Hemisphere witnessed a rare and fascinating astronomical event – a partial solar eclipse. The phenomenon, which marked this year’s first solar eclipse, was visible in several countries across the United States, the United Kingdom, and parts of Europe. As the moon passed in front of the sun, it blocked a portion of the sun’s light, creating an otherworldly sight that left many skygazers in awe. The eclipse was not visible in India, however, due to its geographical location.
As the partial solar eclipse unfolded, photos and videos began surfacing online, capturing the breathtaking moment when the moon cast its shadow on the Earth. People in the affected regions took to social media to share their experiences and photos of the event, which quickly went viral.
The Path of the Eclipse
The partial solar eclipse was visible in a narrow path across the Northern Hemisphere, with the path of totality passing through parts of the United States, including eastern Canada, the UK, and parts of Europe. The eclipse was not visible in its entirety, but those in the affected areas were treated to a rare sight as the moon partially covered the sun.
Rise and Shine…Twice!
One of the most striking aspects of the partial solar eclipse was the unusual phenomenon of the sun appearing to rise twice. As the moon passed in front of the sun, the sky darkened, and the sun seemed to dip below the horizon. However, as the moon moved away from the sun, the sun reappeared, giving the illusion of a second sunrise.
Skygazers Take to Social Media
As the partial solar eclipse unfolded, social media platforms were flooded with photos and videos of the event. People in the affected regions shared their experiences, using hashtags such as #SolarEclipse and #PartialSolarEclipse to connect with others who witnessed the phenomenon.
