Watch the skies go dark during the day

After spending just over 3 hours sweeping across parts of North America, it is now time for the Moon’s umbra to bid farewell. Somewhere over the North Atlantic ocean, marine animals are seeing an eclipsed Sun dip down beneath the horizon.
But as they say, this is not a goodbye, but a see you soon. In two years’ time, the Moon’s umbra will return . This time, totality will fall over European locations, while Canada and the United States will see a partial solar eclipse.

Reaching the end

The Moon’s umbra is soon going to be ending its journey over land. The idyllic village of Trinity (seen above) in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the last land locations on Earth to see the eclipse. After this, the eclipse flies over the Atlantic ocean and ends as the Sun sets over the high seas.
Canada will have to wait another year before witnessing one of the Moon’s three shadows again.
When is the next eclipse in your location?
