Astronomy: Same day as the March Equinox 2015. It's a Total Solar Eclipse in the Faroe Islands and Svalbard (Norway), and a Partial Solar Eclipse in Europe, northern and eastern Asia and northern and western Africa. The eclipse starts at 07:41 UTC and ends at 11:50 UTC.
Editor's note: The Great American Solar Eclipse was on Aug. 21. It swept across the continental United States from Oregon to Georgia. See our full coverage. Another total solar eclipse will be seen across the United States in 2024. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earthâs surface.
