Dozens of skywatchers gathered in parts of the world to witness Sunday’s partial solar eclipse.

In Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, observers saw only a partial eclipse as clouds blocked the sky for several seconds at the exact moment the moon should have almost hidden the sun.

In Nairobi it’s a partial solar eclipse but this kind of eclipse is an annular eclipse where you get the ring of fire and we are not able to see that because we are not getting totality in Nairobi.”

“And so we have been very graciously allowed to come to someone’s rooftop – our neighbour, we actually just live just down there – and we were able to share on zoom with people around the world are joining in so it is really a kind of nice feeling that we are helping people to see the eclipse that they would not be able to see.

There will be a second solar eclipse over South America on December 14 2020.
