All eclipse images © Pedro Ré On Wednesday, 2006 March 29, a total eclipse of the Sun was visible within a narrow corridor which traversed half the Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow began in Brazil and extended across the Atlantic, northern Africa, and central Asia where it ended at sunset in western Mongolia. A partial eclipse was visible within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which included the northern two thirds of Africa, Europe, and central Asia.
