On Saturday, March 29, 2025, the moon will pass in front of the Sun, causing a partial solar eclipse that will last for around four hours. Some regions of the Northern Hemisphere will be able to witness the sight. In 2025, this will be India’s first solar eclipse.
From eastern Canada to northern Russia, a large area will be able to witness the partial solar eclipse. The majority of Europe, as well as portions of northern North America and northwest Africa, will also witness this celestial spectacle.
Will solar eclipse be visible in India?
India will not be able to see the partial solar eclipse, while Greenland and northeastern Canada will be able to see the most of it.
The solar eclipse is scheduled to begin on March 29 at 2:20:43 p.m. Indian Standard Time (IST), peak at 4:17:27 p.m., and end at 4:13:45 p.m.
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth align, a comparatively uncommon celestial occurrence takes place. The moon blotting out the Sun is known as a total solar eclipse.
Is it safe to observe a solar eclipse with the naked eye?
A solar eclipse, in contrast to a lunar eclipse, should not be seen with the unaided eye since it may harm the retina. Using certified special eclipse glasses (the “ISO 12312-2 international standard”) or indirectly seeing through a pinhole in a cardboard sheet that projects the picture of the eclipsed Sun onto a second cardboard sheet are the only safe ways to observe the eclipse, according to NASA and the IMCEE.
