   Explanation: On October 25th, Sun and New Moon set together as seen
   from Agra, India. Their close conjunction near the western horizon, a
   partial solar eclipse, was captured in this elevated view in hazy skies
   near the solitary dome of the Taj Mahal. Of course, the partial solar
   eclipse was also seen from most of Europe, northern Africa, the Middle
   East, and western parts of Asia. This eclipse was the last of two solar
   eclipses (both partial eclipses) in 2022. But the next Full Moon will
   slide through planet Earth's shadow on November 7/8, in a total lunar
   eclipse.
