Partial Solar Eclipse October 23, 2014

Partial solar eclipses happened during when and where the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, but they don't align in a perfectly straight line. Because of this, the Moon only partially blocked the Sun's disc. This particular partial solar eclipse and when the Sun looks like the Moon has a bite on it and this is due to the fact  because the Moon casts the lighter, outer part of its shadow, the penumbra on Earth.
