March 29 Solar Eclipse for Northern Hemisphere

The first solar eclipse of 2025 will be a very deep partial eclipse across parts of Eastern and Northern Canada , plus the Northeastern United States . Europe will see a shallower partial eclipse, which will also touch small areas of the Caribbean, Africa, and Siberia.

During a partial eclipse, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are not quite perfectly aligned. As seen from Earth, the Moon covers some, but not all, of the Sun.

On Saturday, March 29, the light, outer part of the Moon鈥檚 shadow will touch down in the Atlantic Ocean at 08:50 UTC. After spreading across some of the Northern Hemisphere , it will lift off again about four hours later in northern Siberia at 12:43 UTC.

At no time will the innermost part of the Moon鈥檚 shadow strike Earth鈥攎eaning this won鈥檛 be a total or annular eclipse anywhere on the globe.

Weather permitting, observers close to this part of the North American continent will experience a phenomenon known as the devil鈥檚 horns. As the Sun rises above the eastern horizon, it will be almost completely covered by the Moon. The only visible part of the Sun will be a narrow crescent鈥攚hich resembles a pair of horns as it comes into view.

In other places, the maximum eclipse will occur at the following 麻豆映画. The percentage figures for obscuration tell us how much of the Sun鈥檚 disk the Moon will cover.
