One Sun’s partial eclipse It occurred on Saturday morning (29). Although the phenomenon was not visible in most of Brazil, other parts of the world recorded what happened.
The phenomenon began around 5:50 am (Brasília time) and was visible in regions such as North America, Europe, Africa, North Asia and some areas of South America.
Although South America is on the list, the partial eclipse of the sun was not much seen in Brazil. This is because only a small area of our country was within the visibility map: part of the northern territory of Amapá. However, the percentage of sunlight blocked by the shadow of the moon was very small and not possible to see accurately.
The partial eclipse reached its maximum at 7:59 and ended at 9:34. It is possible to watch the moment on the YouTube channel of the Greenwich Royal Observatory, which broadcast the live astronomical event. See below .
What is a partial eclipse?
A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned between the sun and our planet, covering a part of the star with its shadow, which looks like a “bite” in the sun.
According to NASA, the moon passed in front of the sun, which caused a partial block and thus projecting a shadow in parts of the northern hemisphere. The central region of the shadow of the moon, where the sun would look completely blocked, does not reach the earth, So it was not possible to see the phenomenon completely this time .
