A new year brings new opportunities for a lot of things but today we are going to talk about the opportunities that you will get this year to catch solar eclipses in 2025. If you’re an enthusiast of such events, read along for the full list of cities to witness Surya Grahan around the world.
For those unaware, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. At this point, it partially or fully blocks the sunlight. This celestial event can be total, partial, or annular, depending on alignment. It is only visible from specific regions and is a very exciting event for astronomy enthusiasts.
In 2025, we can get to witness solar eclipses across the year. The major highlight of these will be the two partial solar eclipses that will happen on March 29 and September 21. A partial solar eclipse is one where the Moon partially blocks the Sun. The first partial solar eclipse that will take place on March 29, 2025 can be sighted in several regions including Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. But sadly, enthusiasts in India won’t be able to catch this.
The next partial solar eclipse will take place on September 21. This can be caught in countries like southern Australia, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic, New Zealand, and Antarctica. However, India will again not be able to witness this sight. You will have to rely on live streams and pictures.
Here’s a full list of cities that can witness the partial solar eclipse on September 21:
