March 2025 Partial solar eclipse: Where and how to see

Another eclipse on us.

On Saturday, the moon will cast a shadow on the surface of the Earth, a phenomenon that people are in parts of the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Russia and Africa will get experience in the partial solar eclipse. It is only partially impressive like the total solar eclipse that interrupts the United States last year, but it is an opportunity to take a break from worldly matters and see our place in the solar system.

During the eclipse, it appears that the moon comes out of the sun, but the amount of contrast depending on the site. And clouds can spoil the width.

The surface of the sun will not be completely withholding during this event, so it is never safe to look at the partial solar eclipse without protective eye equipment.

People in areas where the partial solar eclipse is visible will test them differently. How much of the sun will be covered, and what time does it happen, depends on the site. You will also need to check the local weather report for clear or cloudy conditions.

NASA has published a list of eclipse in many big cities here.

In North America, this event begins early in the morning around the sunrise, and for most, the sun will be partially dismantled when it appears.

On Saturday, Eclipse will be visible in the northern hemisphere in an area that includes both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike the total eclipse, it affects the sun in a wide area and has a clear path.

In the United States, viewers will see along the coast in the northeast. Those in Boston, for example, will witness 43 percent of the solar energy surface covered at 6:38 am. In New York City, the sun will be only 22 percent of the eclipse, at 6:46 am, people will witness in the far south like Washington, DC, a 1 percent eclipse at 6:59 am

The most obstacle sunlight will occur to the far north. People in northern Quebec, Nunavut, and a lot of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada will see more than 90 percent of the moon covered by the moon.

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, people will see people in northern and western Europe, as well as on the northwestern coast of Africa, that the solar eclipse reaches the maximum extent during the early morning or early. In northern Russia, the eclipse will occur later in the afternoon, and in some places closer to sunset.

The eclipse can last more than an hour in places such as Halifax, Nova Scotia, where the moon slides slowly more than 83 percent of the sun, reaches the maximum point and then retreats. But in Bovalo, where the eclipse will reach a maximum of 2 percent, it will last only seven minutes.

The middle of the Atlantic Ocean is likely to provide the best chance to watch the eclipse in the United States. There may be rest periods of clouds around New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The cloudy sky in the north is likely to hinder the scenery of the solar eclipse in places like Boston. Gray weather is also expected in East Canada.

“There will be a lot of cloud coverage,” said Richard Ban, meteorological specialist at the National weather forecasting center.

People in parts of Europe and Africa can have better luck. Paris, France and Madrid, Spain, may be good places to seize the eclipse with a clear sky expected on parts of Western Europe. Another option is Casablanca, Morocco, where sunny weather is expected in northwestern Africa.

But it will be a wet day in most parts of England on Saturday, and the cloud cover is likely to be above northern Europe.

The solar eclipse occurs when the moon slims between the Earth and the sun, and it protects all or part of the solar surface from our point of view.

The most dramatic version of this is the solar overall eclipse, when the entire sun is covered, the outer atmosphere, or the wreath, is visible for a few minutes at the height of the event. This is known as the total.

On the contrary, only a large part of the sun will be blocked on Saturday, in what is known as the partial solar eclipse. This happens when the Earth, the moon and the sun are completely aligned. Unlike the total, the sky will not spare enough during the partial solar eclipse to see the stars or planets during the day, and the animals are unlikely to react strongly.

The eclipse comes in pairs, separately, two weeks – the amount of time the moon takes to swing to the other side of the Earth. Stargazers recently witnessed The Moon Blush Red during the overall eclipse of the moon earlier this month.

Stress in the sun, even for a few seconds, it can always harm your eyes. Due to the lack of pain receptors in the retina, you will not feel it during their occurrence.

The same applies during the partial solar eclipse. But there are several ways to protect your eyes and still see the event. If you save your paper glasses from the total solar eclipse last year, you can use them again, as long as they are not torn, scratching or damaged in another way.

Beware of fake Eclipse glasses and solar viewers. A list of reliable suppliers, collected by the American Astronomical Society, can be found here.

If it is too late to find Eclipse glasses, you can see the projection safely on the ground using elements around the house. Options include Cardstock or cardboard. You can also use a kitchen refinery, a straw hat, or even your own fingers.

According to NASA, the other partial solar eclipse will happen on September 21, the best show in Australia. The solar overall eclipse will occur in the summer of 2026, visible in the upper parts of the northern hemisphere.

If this is too long to wait, two lunar kidneys will also come, one in September and another next March. Unlike the solar overall eclipse, which is only visible along a narrow path on the surface of the Earth, the overall eclipse of the moon can be seen by anyone mostly on the night side of the planet.
