The last partial solar eclipse of 2022 will occur this Tuesday (25), but it will not be visible in Brazil. The phenomenon can be seen in almost all of Europe, in part of Russia, in the Middle East, in North Africa, in Southeast Asia, in a little part of Greenland and in India.
The Moon begins to pass in front of the Sun at 6 am in the Atlantic Ocean and ends at 10 am. The peak should occur around 8 am.
+ Moon is moving away from Earth by 3.8 cm each year, say researchers
In Brazil, the visualization will only be possible through images made available by some observatories around the world, which should broadcast the phenomenon live on Tuesday morning.
The eclipse will not be perfect, hence the name “partial”. Depending on the point from which it is observed, the phenomenon may be more or less intense. At the North Pole, for example, the Sun will have 82% of its totality blocked by the Moon. You will be left with the shape similar to the crescent moon.
Those who can observe both Europe and Africa and Asia will see the Sun appearing dimmed to varying degrees. Observers from Russia, for example, will see about 80% of the solar disk covered by the Moon; in western China, 70%; in Norway, 63%, and in Finland, 62%.
These solar phenomena occur when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, from Earth’s point of view. Solar eclipses happen between two and five times a year, always during the new moon phase, when our satellite is between the Earth and the Sun.
Aficionados who can’t see this time will have to wait until 2023, when two of them will take place, one April 20, total, when the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon and which occurs approximately every 18 months. But this one will not be visible from Brazil either.
The other will be on October 14th, this one can be witnessed in the country, with the effect of a “ring of fire” around the Sun.
