A captivating partial eclipse drew viewers from regions including the U.S., Canada, and Europe over the weekend, as the moon obscured part of the sun.
The phenomenon, which was the first partial solar eclipse of the year, allowed the sun to appear as a crescent shape rather than being completely obscured. Early risers in the Northeastern United States enjoyed the ideal viewing conditions, while later in the day, spectators in northern and western Europe, along with the northwestern coast of Africa, marveled at the phenomenon during the late morning and early afternoon.
For those who couldn't catch this weekend's spectacle, the next opportunity to experience a partial solar eclipse will be in September, with Australia's sky being the prime location for viewing.
