Solar Eclipse Coming But It Won't Rival 2017's

REUTERS/Adrees Latif There will be a partial solar eclipse on August 11. The event will be most visible at the North Pole and in northern cities. While the eclipse will be a sight to behold, it won't be quite as stunning as the total eclipse that swept across the US last summer. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on our planet. The coming partial solar eclipse will be most visible at the North Pole, EarthSky reports — there, the sun's diameter will be 65% covered.
