Over the next couple of weeks two eclipses will be taking place. Early on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 8, the moon will plunge completely into the shadow of the Earth producing a total lunar eclipse that will be visible from North America as well as parts of South America, central and eastern Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

But as a prelude, two weeks prior to this event, on Tuesday, Oct. 25, the new moon will orbit between the sun and the Earth, causing a partial eclipse of the sun to take place.

To produce this upcoming solar eclipse, the moon's shadow will scrape the north polar regions of Earth. It will be visible from an eastern slice of Greenland and all of Iceland, as well as most of Europe (except Portugal and the western and southern portions of Spain), northeast Africa and over much of western and central Asia. Even if you don't live in these areas, you'll luckily be able to watch the partial solar eclipse online thanks to several free livestreams. We will also host it free here at Space.com.
