On Saturday, March 29, 2025, a deep partial solar eclipse will be visible across the Northern Hemisphere. While there will be no totality, this eclipse will still be a spectacular event for millions across Europe, North America, and parts of Africa.

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, blocking a portion of the sun’s disk. It will appear as though the moon has taken a “bite” out of the sun.

The eclipse will begin at 4:50 a.m. EDT (0850 GMT) and end at 8:43 a.m. EDT (1243 GMT), with the maximum eclipse happening at 6:47 a.m. EDT (1047 GMT). The deepest partial eclipse will be seen in northern Quebec, Canada, where up to 94% of the sun will be obscured.

The best views will be in extreme eastern Canada and the northeastern U.S., where a crescent sun will rise dramatically. Locations like New Brunswick, northern Quebec, and Maine will experience a striking effect, with two solar “horns” briefly appearing as the sun emerges.
In Europe, the eclipse will be visible across much of the continent, with deeper eclipses in the northwest. Greenland will see up to 86% coverage, Iceland’s Westfjords will experience 70%, and cities like London, Edinburgh, and Paris will observe a noticeable “bite” taken out of the sun.
In Africa, the eclipse will be more subtle, with Morocco seeing the deepest eclipse on the continent, up to 18% coverage.
To safely view the eclipse, it’s essential to use proper eye protection, such as solar eclipse glasses or a solar filter for telescopes. A pinhole projector is also an easy alternative if you don’t have access to specialized equipment.
Stay safe while watching this remarkable event!
