The phenomenon began at dawn in the Northeastern United States, providing some of the best vantage points for eager spectators. Across northern and western Europe, as well as on Africa's northwestern coast, people eagerly watched the moon slide between Earth and the sun during the late morning and early afternoon.

Even under cloudy skies, the fascination with the eclipse continued, with dedicated observers utilizing custom filters and makeshift photography strategies to capture the moment. Notably, in Nuuk, Greenland, nearly 90 percent of the sun was covered during the peak of the event.

For those who missed this cosmic display, excitement continues with another partial solar eclipse scheduled for September, with Australia set to be the best location to take in the stunning sight.
