Eclipse Over New York
|
On November 3, a solar eclipse occurred during the morning in much of the Eastern North America and in Africa. Parts of the Earth saw the moon as too small to cover the sun so they saw a Ring of Fire. Some other parts of the Earth were able to see the moon completely cover the Earth, thus witnessing a total solar eclipse. In this picture, due to the location on Earth, the moon is only partly covering up the Sun, making it look as if somebody had taken a bite out of the Sun. The next solar eclipse that can be visible from New York City will happen on October 23, 2014 during sunset.
