The first solar eclipse of 2022 appeared in southern skies Saturday. Here’s when another partial one is expected later this year — and when the big total eclipse is coming to America that everyone’s been waiting for.
The first solar eclipse of 2022 graced southern skies this weekend.
On Saturday, April 30, people in parts of southern South America, Antarctica and the Pacific and Southern Oceans witnessed a partial eclipse,As explained by NASA, a solar eclipse happens when the moon moves between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth, fully or partially blocking the sun’s light in some areas.
During a partial eclipse, the moon and sun are not perfectly aligned, so the moon does not completely cover the sun. Videos were captured from South American countries such as Argentina and Chile showing the partial eclipse, which appears as if a "bite" has been taken out of the sun.

Those in Europe, northeast Africa, the Middle East and western Asia will be privy to this particular celestial phenomenon.
