Though a lot of Europe will see an enormous partial photo voltaic eclipse, the most effective views will probably be for these in excessive jap areas of North America, the place an eclipsed solar will seem on the jap horizon at dawn if skies are clear.
What time is the March 29, 2025, partial photo voltaic eclipse?
As this interactive Google Map reveals, as a lot as 94% of the solar will probably be blocked by the moon in an occasion lasting from 08:50 to 12:43 UTC (4:50 a.m. to eight:43 a.m. EDT) on March 29, 2025.

Though it will not be as dramatic because the complete photo voltaic eclipse on April 8, 2024, the deep partial eclipse already underway because the solar rises on March 29, 2025, will probably be a spectacular occasion.
It is going to be finest seen from New Brunswick and much northern Quebec in Canada, in addition to from Maine, from the place a crescent solar will rise such that two separate photo voltaic “horns” will seem momentarily on the jap horizon. To mark the occasion, Cliff Valley Astronomy is internet hosting Sky Experience II: The Rising Sun Eclipse Experience & Retreat in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, the place an 83% eclipsed solar will rise within the east at dawn.

Central and Western Europe, in addition to northwestern Russia, will see a partial eclipse. The farther northwest you go, the larger the “chew” from the solar will probably be.
The west coast of Greenland will see as much as an 86% eclipse in response to Time and Date, whereas Iceland’s Westfjords will max out at 70%.

The eclipse finishes simply earlier than sundown, as seen from the (uninhabited) Severnaya Zemlya, a Russian archipelago of often ice-packed Arctic islands. Coincidentally, Severnaya Zemlya is exactly the place the planet’s subsequent photo voltaic eclipse — a complete photo voltaic eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026 — additionally ends at sundown.

Africa and Russia will probably be touched by this eclipse, however barely. In Africa, Morocco, Western Sahara, Tunisia, Algeria, Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau will see some eclipse. The northwest coast of the continent — Morocco, specifically — would be the finest place to view the occasion, with El Jadida, simply southwest of Casablanca, seeing the largest partial eclipse in Africa, at 18%. Tangier will see 17%, Marrakesh 15% and Fez 14%.
