A partial solar eclipse took place on April 30, 2022.[1][2][3] A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth. The eclipse was visible in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and Antarctica. It was the first eclipse of 2022. At most it covered 54%. For South America it was a sunset eclipse where you could see the sun setting and still being eclipsed!
