The first solar eclipse of the year is set to captivate skywatchers across parts of the Northern Hemisphere on March 29, 2025.
This partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, partially obscuring its light. While the Sun won’t be fully covered, it will create a striking visual phenomenon for those in its path.
The eclipse will begin over the Atlantic Ocean at 2:20 pm IST and culminate around 6:13 pm IST in northern Siberia. Enthusiasts in regions such as northeastern Canada, the northeastern United States, Europe, parts of Africa, and Siberia will have the chance to experience this celestial wonder. In cities like New York and Boston, up to 93% of the Sun will be obscured, offering a breathtaking view at sunrise.
Unfortunately, the event will not be visible from India or neighboring countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka. For those interested in catching the spectacle, live-streaming options are available online. As always, safety is paramount—ensure proper eye protection with eclipse glasses or solar viewers, as regular sunglasses are insufficient.
