ToggleAs a new year unfolds, it ushers in a wealth of opportunities, including the exciting celestial events slated to occur in 2025, particularly solar eclipses. If you’re an aficionado of astronomical phenomena, continue reading to discover which cities around the world will be the best places to experience these stunning displays of nature.
For those who may not be familiar, a solar eclipse is defined as an event that occurs when the Moon obscures part or all of the Sun as viewed from Earth. This fascinating occurrence can be classified into three main types: total, partial, and annular, all depending on the alignment of the celestial bodies involved. The visibility of any given eclipse is limited to specific geographical areas, making it a thrilling spectacle for stargazers, scientists, and casual viewers alike.
In the upcoming year of 2025, skywatchers will be treated to several solar eclipses. The most noteworthy among these will be the two partial solar eclipses set to take place on March 29 and September 21. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon only covers a portion of the Sun’s disk, resulting in an awe-inspiring sight. However, it is unfortunate for enthusiasts residing in India, as they will not be able to witness either of these eclipses firsthand.
The first of the two partial eclipses will happen on March 29, 2025, and it will be visible from a variety of locations across the globe, including regions in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. However, fans in India will miss out on this celestial occasion and will need to rely on virtual broadcasts and photographs to enjoy the event.
Following the March eclipse, the next partial solar eclipse is scheduled for September 21, 2025. This eclipse will primarily be visible in locations such as southern Australia, the vast stretches of the Pacific Ocean, parts of the Atlantic Ocean, New Zealand, and Antarctica. Unfortunately, similar to the March event, it will not be observable from India.
Below is a comprehensive list of cities that will have the opportunity to witness the partial solar eclipse on September 21:
