Partial solar eclipse

On Monday, August 21, the nation will see a rare astronomical event: a total eclipse of the sun, caused when the moon moves directly between the sun and the earth.

Although we weren't in the path for a full solar eclipse, I was able to shoot a good portion of the eclipse from my front yard.

Solar and lunar eclipses, why they occur, when the next eclipse is, and from where you can see them.

We see four eclipses in 2022, two in May, one in October, and November. Two are a Partial Solar Eclipse, the other two are a Total Lunar Eclipse.

Some schools are closing too.
