Explanation:
On October 25th, Sun and New Moon set
together
as seen from Agra, India.
Their close conjunction
near the western horizon, a partial solar
eclipse, was captured in this elevated view in hazy skies near the
solitary dome
of the Taj Mahal.
Of course, the
partial
solar eclipse
was also seen from most of Europe, northern Africa, the Middle East,
and western parts of Asia.
This eclipse was the last of two solar eclipses (both partial eclipses)
in 2022.
But the next Full Moon
will slide through planet Earth's shadow on November 7/8, in a
total lunar eclipse.
