A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Sun and the Moon are not quite lined up. In this case, the Moon covers only a section of the Sun. This kind of eclipse usually goes unnoticed by most people on Earth because the sunlight is scarcely dimmed. At maximum eclipse, 81% of the Moon ´s surface is obscured.
The entire eclipse will be visible from most of Africa, the Middle East, eastern Europe and western Asia as far as India. The Moon will already be eclipsed when it rises for observers in South America and western Europe. Those parts of Asia east of India, along with Australia and New Zealand, will see the beginning but not the end of the eclipse. The eclipse if not visible from most of North America.
