A "partial solar eclipse" that looks like a part of the sun has been observed in Japan for the first time in about six months.

"Partial solar eclipse" is a phenomenon in which the sun, the moon, and the earth line up in a straight line, and when viewed from the earth, part of the sun is hidden by the moon.

This is the first time in half a year since last December in Japan, and this time it began to run out around 4 pm and ended by 6:30 pm.

On the 21st, there were many sunny places except in parts of the Kanto region and the Kyushu region where the clouds spread, and it was possible to observe in various places.

The most hidden sun was 79% in Naha, 35% in Tokyo, and 17% in Sapporo.

In India and China, the sun has become a ring-shaped solar eclipse.

The next solar eclipse to be seen in Japan will be in April 2023, three years later, at which time a partial solar eclipse is expected only in some areas such as southern Kyushu.
