Pics Show Partial Solar Eclipse in Skies over US, UK & Europe
On Saturday, the Northern Hemisphere witnessed a rare and breathtaking astronomical event – a partial solar eclipse. The phenomenon was visible in several countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and parts of Europe. As the eclipse took place, sky gazers and photographers alike took to the streets and social media to capture the moment. The partial solar eclipse marked the first of the year, and it was a sight to behold.
According to reports, the eclipse was visible in the afternoon, with the moon passing between the Earth and the sun. The moon’s shadow did not cover the entire Earth, resulting in a partial eclipse. The event was witnessed by people in the eastern parts of North America, as well as in the UK and parts of Europe. However, those in India were not fortunate enough to witness the eclipse, as it was not visible in the region.
The partial solar eclipse also caused a rare phenomenon where the sun appeared to rise twice. This occurred when the moon’s shadow created a “double sunrise” effect, where the sun appeared to rise twice in the sky. The unusual sight was captured by several photographers and shared on social media, leaving many in awe.
Photographs of the eclipse have been flooding online, giving people a glimpse of the rare event. One of the most stunning images was captured by photographer, Tony Northrup, who snapped a photo of the eclipse from a hot air balloon in the skies above Arizona, USA. The photo shows the moon’s shadow falling across the sun, creating a stunning crescent shape.
Another striking image was captured by photographer, Andrew McCarthy, who took a photo of the eclipse from the shores of Lake Michigan in the US. The image shows the moon’s shadow creating a streak across the sun, with the surrounding landscape bathed in a warm, golden light.
The partial solar eclipse was also visible in the UK, where people gathered in parks and public spaces to witness the event. One of the most striking images was captured by photographer, Ian Griffin, who took a photo of the eclipse from the Cliffs of Insanity in Cornwall, England. The image shows the moon’s shadow falling across the sun, with the rugged coastline of Cornwall stretching out in the background.
In Europe, the eclipse was visible in several countries, including Germany, France, and Spain. One of the most stunning images was captured by photographer, Stefan Seip, who took a photo of the eclipse from the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The image shows the moon’s shadow creating a striking silhouette against the city skyline.
As the world continues to marvel at the stunning images of the partial solar eclipse, many are already looking forward to the next solar eclipse, which is expected to take place in 2024. The event was a rare and breathtaking reminder of the awe-inspiring power of astronomy.
