On Saturday, as the sun rises in the northern hemisphere, the moon was cut in the orbit of Earth and took a bite from the sun.
The partial solar eclipse that occurred when it moved between the moon, the Earth and the Sun poured a shadow on our planet was the first of the year, and it was seen in some parts of the United States, Canada, Caribbean, Europe, Russia and Africa.
Unlike a total solar eclipse, when the entire solar is covered, a partial solar eclipse creates the crescent sun.
The event started when dawn was broken in the Northeast United States, which has the best view of the country. People in North and Western Europe and the northwest coast of Africa were treated late in the morning and in the afternoon.
If you missed it, the next partial solar eclipse will be in September and the best landscape will be in Australia.
