This Tuesday morning (25), the last solar eclipse of 2022 took place. Unfortunately, the show was visible only in some parts of Europe, west Asia and northeast Africa. But, for those outside these regions and wanted to catch the event in real time, some live transmissions were made available on the internet.
This solar eclipse was partial, beginning at 5:58 am (Brasília time), when the Moon began to pass in front of the Sun, ending at approximately 10 am.
According to the website Space., neither partial nor total solar eclipses are visible from all parts of the globe. That's because the Moon is much smaller than Earth, and its shadow is only a few hundred kilometers wide, making it impossible for it to "fall" on all parts of the planet at once.
This time, the maximum coverage the Sun's disk received was 82%, at a location called the "central eclipse point": the place on Earth where an imaginary line connecting the center of the Sun and the center of the Moon meets the surface of our planet. In the case of this last solar eclipse of the year, that point was at the North Pole.
More distant regions from this location had increasingly less privileged views. In Russia, 80% of the Sun was eclipsed, the shadow region dropping to 70% in China, 63% in Norway and 62% in Finland.
For those of you who did not watch any of the live streams, here are incredible images of the phenomenon, recorded by observers positioned in favored regions, London, in the United Kingdom, Wassenaar, in the Netherlands, Senja, in Norway, Agra, in India, and Istanbul, In Turkey.
Here is is! 🤩 Maximum eclipse from London in glorious 4k! Some nice activity on the Sun's surface, and the beautiful rugged edge of our Moon. I captured this at 10:59 BST. #SolarEclipse pic.twitter./s6xN01uk4f

Roughly 1/3rd of the Sun's diameter was covered by the Moon at 12:04CEST today, as seen from #Wassenaar in The Netherlands.
