Feb 15 – Partial Solar Eclipse:
A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon covers only a part of the Sun, sometimes resembling a bite taken out of a cookie. This partial eclipse will only be visible in parts of Chile, Argentina, and Antarctica. At Bahia Blanca, the eclipse lasts from 18:27 to 19:45 (21:27 to 22:45 UTC), and 11% of the sun is covered at maximum eclipse. (http://www.moonwise.co.uk/sky.php)
What happened last month:
Jan 31 – Super blue blood moon and a lunar eclipse. While they aren’t particularly unusual, it was rare for all four events to occur on the same day. The eclipse would have been visible
before sunrise on January 31.
