   Explanation: On October 25th, Sun and New Moon set [6]together as seen
   from Agra, India. [7]Their close conjunction near the western horizon,
   a partial solar eclipse, was captured in this elevated view in hazy
   skies near the [8]solitary dome of the Taj Mahal. [9]Of course, the
   [10]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. [11]But
   the next Full Moon will slide through planet Earth's shadow on November
   7/8, in a total lunar eclipse.
