Get ready for a breathtaking celestial event! The first solar eclipse of 2025 is set to dazzle skywatchers at sunrise on Saturday, March 29, casting a dramatic shadow over parts of North America, Europe, and Africa.
Where will it be visible?
This deep partial eclipse will be most striking along the Atlantic coast, with viewers in Canada’s Nunavik region seeing up to 94% of the sun covered. The northeastern United States, including New York (21%) and Boston (43%), will get partial views, while parts of Europe, Africa, and Russia will also witness the cosmic phenomenon.
What to expect?
In some locations, the rising sun will appear like a “smiley face” or “devil’s horns”, creating a surreal visual experience.
How to watch safely?
Never look at a solar eclipse with the naked eye! Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses, a solar filter, or a pinhole projector to enjoy the view without harming your eyesight.
A season of cosmic wonders!
This eclipse comes hot on the heels of a “blood moon” lunar eclipse earlier in March, making it an exciting time for astronomy lovers.
Mark your calendars and don’t miss this rare celestial show!
