On 25 October 2022, a partial solar eclipse took place.
A solar eclipse is an impressive and breathtaking event in the sky. It might be even scary. In early times, humans thought that gods or mystic creatures made the sun disappear. Until one found out that it was a perfect sized moon on her monthly trip around the earth that blocked the sun and forced the day to temporarily exchange with the night. When the moon eclipses the sun completely, you get an extraordinary glimpse of the surroundings of the sun, revealing some solar secrets and science.
