Sun eclipse begins in the Pacific Ocean

The sun's eclipse has begun in the Pacific Ocean, and now it's happening in Mexico, and Periscope broadcasts.

By “Sky News”, from the Pacific Ocean, the solar eclipse will continue toward North America.

What is the eclipse of the sun?

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the earth and the sun, blocking some or all of the sun's rays to reach the earth. Fenomen is a cosmic event that requires that the sun, moon, and earth be in the right range for the moon to cast shade on our planet.

When that happens, the moon casts two species of charm. One results in a partial solar eclipse covering only part of the sun.

The other and most spectacular is called a total solar eclipse in which the sun's disk is completely covered by the moon.

A total solar eclipse occurs somewhere on earth nearly every 18 months or more. The continental U.S. was also lucky to see one in 2017, but its next important opportunity would not come until 2045.

The full shadow of the moon completes its journey across Earth to the Atlantic Ocean about 620 miles (100 km) from Corneall.

But it must still be possible to catch a partial eclipse from western parts of Great Britain just before sundown.
