Today, a partial solar eclipse will occur. A Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun. When this happens, if the Sun, Moon and Earth are in alignment, the Moon will appear to occult the solar disk. Sadly, it will not be visible from St. Louis as it occurs about 5 hours before sunrise. The good news is, when you have one type of eclipse, the other will happen about two weeks later. On November 8, 2022, a total lunar eclipse will occur, which is visible from St. Louis.
