People in certain regions across the globe were able to look up at the sky Tuesday morning and witness a mesmerizing cosmic event.

Canadians could not see the partial solar eclipse form, but parts of the world took in a breathtaking sight as the Sun, Moon and Earth almost aligned. Europe, northeastern Africa, the Middle East and Asia were able to experience the partial eclipse.

The effect of a partial solar eclipse leaves a chunk of our view of the Sun blocked by the Moon.

The next eclipse event, a full lunar eclipse, comes Nov. 8 during the next full moon. At this time, Earth will be between the Sun and the Moon, causing our planet to cast a shadow on the Moon and give it a reddish, coppery colour. This is also known as a "Blood Moon."

Canadians will be able to witness this event at 6:02 a.m. EST on that day.

Tuesday’s photos of the partial solar eclipse as seen from India, Lebanon and Nepal, show fiery orange light cascading down, forming silhouette photos.
