Exciting day for watching the skies Astronomers throughout the world have been busy today. The planet Mars lit up the early morning sky as it made its closest pass to the Earth in 13 years. At the same time, the summer solstice occurred at 12:38 a.m., marking the beginning of summer. And if that’s not enough, parts of the Earth were treated to a solar eclipse today. That celestial event was not visible anywhere in North America. It was, however, seen as a spectacular total eclipse in most of the African nation of Zambia. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are perfectly aligned with the earth, causing the moon’s shadow to be cast across parts of the Earth. Today’s eclipse was seen as far west as eastern South America. wmnn.com
