Total Solar Eclipse Nearing
On August 1, viewers in the northeastern portion of North America will be able to see a partial solar eclipse. Due to the Moon's umbral shadow, Canada, central Russia, China, northern Greenland, the Arctic, and Mongolia will see a total solar eclipse. The Moon's penumbral shadow will allow North America, Asia, and most of Europe to see the partial eclipse rather than the total solar eclipse.
