Полное лунное затмение над Таджикистаном A Total Lunar Eclipse Over Tajikistan
7.11.2022

Частное затмение активного Солнца A Partial Eclipse of an Active Sun
2.11.2022

Watch for three things in this unusual eclipse video. First, watch for a big dark circle to approach from the right to block out more and more of the Sun. This dark circle is the Moon, and the video was made primarily to capture this partial solar eclipse last week.
