“Partially Visible in Oyo and Kano” – Nigerians shares, photos of eclipse of the sun

• Some Nigerians have shared images and videos of the sun’s eclipse, reportedly able to view it from their regions.

• The National Aeronautics and Space Agency defines a total solar eclipse as a temporary obscuration of the sun’s brightness by the moon’s movement between the sun and Earth.

• Nigerians in Oyo and Kano states have shared online images claiming to have witnessed a brief eclipse.

Some Nigerians who were apparently able to witness the solar eclipse have uploaded images and videos of it.

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, a total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, temporarily covering the sun’s brightness.

Images released online by several Nigerians from the states of Oyo and Kano claimed to illustrate what they saw during the brief eclipse.

Although it was thought to be limited to the Pacific region of Mexico, Canada, and over ten US states, several Nigerians felt it to some extent.

Sky Girl, a netizen, claimed on Twitter that she witnessed the partial eclipse and recorded a video of it which she shared.

“Look up, everybody!! Look up it’s happening.”
