(ISRAEL365 NEWS) -- Israelis gazing at the heavens on Tuesday enjoyed a partial solar eclipse. In Jewish tradition, the event has great spiritual significance including acting as a harbinger of the end-of-days.
On Tuesday, a partial solar eclipse passed over Israel beginning at 12:58, peaking at 2:11, and ending at 3:22 PM. People in Israel could see 41%-47% of the Sun, depending on location, according to the Israel Space Agency.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring Earth’s view of the Sun. For this reason, a solar eclipse can only occur when there is a new moon, coinciding with the beginning of a Hebrew month. In this case, the month of Cheshvan began at sundown on Monday.
