solar eclipse

The April 8, 2024, solar eclipse will give tens of millions of skywatchers a chance to experience the celestial phenomenon – the last chance to do so from the U.S. until 2045, scientists say.

Parts of North America were able to see a partial solar eclipse on Thursday morning.

The event, known as an annular solar eclipse, occurs when the moon is too far from Earth to block out the entire sun, leaving the sun peeking out over the Moon’s disk in a “ring of fire,“ according to NASA.
