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.

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.

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

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.

On April 30, 2022, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of South America, Antarctica, and the Pacific and Southern Oceans.

Some schools are closing too.
