Astrology enthusiasts in parts of the world gathered to witness the last solar eclipse of the year, a phenomenon where the moon briefly casts a black shadow that blocks the sun.
A partial eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, and blocks part of the sun. It was visible today across Europe, western Asia, northeastern Africa and the Middle East, according to NASA.
There are four types of solar eclipses: total, partial, hybrid, and annular. The next time a solar eclipse will be seen in the U.S. is on Oct. 14, 2023, NASA said.
