Have you ever noticed that when there’s a solar or lunar eclipse, an eclipse of the other variety comes two weeks before or after? Sometimes, we’ll even get three eclipses in less than a month. 

Just such a situation is happening right now. We already have had a partial eclipse of the sun this month, on Friday the 13th, visible only from parts of Antarctica, Tasmania, Australia and a very narrow slice of New Zealand. Another partial eclipse of the sun will take place on Aug. 11; it will be visible to those living in northern Europe as well as a large portion of central and eastern Asia. Even parts of far northern and eastern Canada will get a brief glimpse of it at sunrise.
