A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s disk, momentarily plunging a portion of the Earth into complete darkness.
However Tuesday’s eclipse is only partial, and the “Moon’s shadow will not touch the surface of the Earth at any point,” the Paris Observatory said in a statement.
It will be the 16th partial solar eclipse of the century, and the second of this year. The next total solar eclipse will cross North America on April 8, 2024, according to NASA.
