A partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans on March 29, 2025. The event is expected to occur at around 4:50 a.m. EDT, with totality lasting approximately two hours.
For those who missed last night’s total lunar eclipse, also known as the “blood moon,” don’t worry – another chance will come soon. However, this time it won’t be a total lunar eclipse, but rather a partial solar eclipse.
A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon casts a shadow on Earth without fully blocking out the sun. This event is relatively rare and only happens twice a year.
The March 2025 partial solar eclipse will be visible in areas such as New York, Boston, and Augusta, Maine, according to NASA’s map of visibility zones. Meanwhile, a total solar eclipse is scheduled for August 12, 2026, and will pass through countries like Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and Portugal.
In contrast, the next total lunar eclipse, or “blood moon,” won’t occur until March 2026, roughly a year from now.
