On March 29, 2025, partial solar eclipse is going to take place. This Solar Eclipse will be happening in Pisces zodiac sign. This is the day when Saturn will also change its position and will move in Pisces sign.
In this case, it will be a partial eclipse, meaning the Moon will cover only a portion of the Sun. It is also being referred to as a double sunrise eclipse, a rare phenomenon where the Sun appears to rise twice.
Observers across eastern North America and much of Europe will have front-row seats to the striking partial solar eclipse on March 29. Here's what to expect.
Just a year ago, countless millions across North America were anxiously awaiting the "great North American total eclipse of the sun" on April 8. Now, less than a year later, on Saturday, March 29, another eclipse of the sun will take place, but it's quite likely that the prospective viewing audience will be considerably smaller.
To produce this eclipse, the moon's shadow falls chiefly on the north polar regions of Earth. Keep up to date with the latest solar eclipse news and events with our solar eclipse live blog.
If you have been keeping track, this will be the second eclipse in less than a month. On March 13-14, we had a total eclipse of the moon. The moon crossed the ecliptic — the apparent path of the sun in our sky — less than 7 hours after arriving at full phase on March 14th, resulting in our natural satellite passing through the shadow of the Earth. It passed quite deeply through the northern half of the Earth's shadow, resulting in a total eclipse. We call that crossing point a "node." Also, during that eclipse, the moon crossed the ecliptic going from north to south — the descending node of its orbit.
Two weeks later, on March 29, the moon will arrive at the opposite side of its orbit and cross the ecliptic again, this time at the new moon phase, resulting in an eclipse of the sun.
