The last solar eclipse of 2022 stuns skywatchers

The last solar eclipse of the year was visible on Tuesday across Europe, Asia and Africa.

The partial solar eclipse started shortly before 5 a.m. EDT and ended a minute after 9 a.m.

At its maximum point, 82% of the sun was eclipsed by the moon.

During a partial solar eclipse, it looks as if a “bite” has been taken out of the sun.
