Comprehensive Insights into the Solar and Lunar Eclipses happening in September
Four Eclipses to Light Up the Skies in 2025 and 2026
Get ready, skywatchers! The year 2025 and 2026 are set to be a spectacle for stargazers as four different eclipses are scheduled to occur. Here's a rundown of what you can expect.
First up, in 2026, we have an exciting lineup of celestial events. The year will begin with an annular solar eclipse on February 17, visible only in Antarctica. Later in the year, on August 12, the total solar eclipse will grace Greenland, Iceland, and Spain.
Moving on to 2025, the year will be marked by three eclipses. The first half of the year will see a total lunar eclipse, which will be visible from Asia, Australia, and North America on March 3-4. The second eclipse of the year will be a partial solar eclipse, occurring after the total lunar eclipse. However, unfortunately, this eclipse will not be visible from North America.
The partial solar eclipse of September 2025 is a much-anticipated event. Depending on the location, it will block up to 85% of the sun. In Antarctica, the eclipse will cover nearly 80% of the sun, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it will be visible in its entirety. Maximum eclipse, at 85%, will occur over the ocean during this eclipse.
The total lunar eclipse of September 2025 will not be visible from North America either. This eclipse, which will last for 82 minutes, will turn the moon into a "blood moon." The total lunar eclipse will be visible to skywatchers in Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and Eastern Europe.
The full corn moon of September 2025 will be the last full moon of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This moon will rise in dramatic fashion, appearing as a muted orange color before whitening in the sky.
As we move towards the end of 2025, the partial solar eclipse of Sept. 21-22 will take place. Pacific islands such as Fiji and Tonga will see a large bite taken out of the sun during this eclipse. At sunrise in New Zealand, up to 73% of the sun's disk will be obscured during this eclipse.
In conclusion, the years 2025 and 2026 are shaping up to be an exciting time for stargazers. With four different eclipses scheduled to occur, there's plenty to look forward to in the coming years. So, mark your calendars and get ready to witness these celestial events!
