🚨 Attention sky enthusiasts! Get ready to mark your calendars for Eclipses in 2025! Here’s what to look forward to 👇🏻
1. Kicking off the year, we have a mesmerizing Blood Moon Eclipse on March 14. This stunning event occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the Earth perfectly positions itself between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that bathes the Moon in a deep red hue. This total eclipse will last for an impressive 3 hours and 38 minutes, beginning at 1:09 AM EDT, with the captivating Blood Moon phase peaking for 1 hour and 5 minutes starting at 2:36 AM EDT. This spectacle will be visible across the Americas, Antarctica, Alaska, northeastern Russia, and parts of Africa.
2. Next, on March 29, a partial solar eclipse will add to the excitement. During this phenomenon, the Moon will obscure up to 93% of the Sun at its peak! The eclipse will unfold over nearly four hours, starting at 4:51 AM EDT, and can be seen from various regions across the Americas, western Russia, Europe, and Africa.
3. The third event of the year brings another total lunar eclipse on September 7. Lasting 3.5 hours and starting at 4:27 PM GMT, this eclipse will be visible from Asia, Russia, parts of Africa, Oceania, and Europe. It occurs shortly after the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth, making it appear a bit larger in the sky. The total phase will last for 1 hour and 22 minutes, longer than the earlier Blood Moon.
4. Finally, the year wraps up with a partial solar eclipse on September 21, visible from parts of Antarctica and Oceania. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Moon will cover up to 79% of the solar disk.
Prepare for a year of stunning celestial displays! Happy eclipse watching! 🌖
