Skygazers capture stunning partial solar eclipse across Europe, North America

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, a partial solar eclipse captivated skywatchers across the Northern Hemisphere, visible in regions including Europe, Greenland, and parts of North America. The event, which lasted several hours, saw the Moon partially obscure the Sun, creating a crescent shape that fascinated photographers and astronomy enthusiasts alike. Many shared stunning images on social media, highlighting the enchanting visual spectacle despite some areas experiencing cloud cover that hindered visibility. This was the first partial solar eclipse of the year and marked a significant moment for observers, as the next total solar eclipse won't occur in the region until 2081. Authorities cautioned viewers to use protective glasses when observing the eclipse to prevent eye damage. The next partial eclipse in Europe is expected on August 12, 2026, with a higher percentage of the Sun obscured than in this event.
