      The noon-time sky turned amber over Turkey and the Black Sea on October   
      25, 2022, thanks to the second—and final—solar eclipse of the year. As   
      the view from the ground showed a crescent-like sun partially covered   
      by the moon, the view from space captured a broad shadow cast by the   
      partial solar eclipse across the Earth. The silvery-white circle which   
      shines in the shadow’s edge is Lake Tuz, Turkey, and not part of the   
      eclipse.   
      
      The moon began to cross in front of the sun over the northern Atlantic   
      Ocean, at 4:58 a.m. EDT (0858 UTC). The eclipse could be seen across   
      most of Europe, northeast Africa, Turkey, the Middle East, and Western   
      Asia before it ended at 9:02 a.m. EDT (1302 UTC) just south of India.   
      The peak of the eclipse, with the moon blocked about 82 percent of the   
      sun, occurred about 7:00 a.m. EDT (1100 UTC) and could be seen in   
      regions close to the North Pole. The Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)   
      figures are relevant for the readers in the Eastern United States,   
      where the eclipse was not visible. In Turkey, the eclipse was near   
      maximum around 12:30 p.m. local time.
