When will the Next Lunar and Solar Eclipse Happen in 2025? Check Details

The year 2024 saw a total of 4 eclipses: two lunar and two solar eclipses. The first lunar eclipse was a penumbral eclipse on March 25, which was primarily visible in North and South America.

On the solar side, a significant total solar eclipse took place on April 8, with its path of totality crossing parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada while offering partial visibility in other regions.

Later in the year, a partial lunar eclipse occurred on September 18, also observable from North and South America, as well as Europe and Africa.

Finally, an annular solar eclipse will occur on October 2, primarily visible as annular in southern Chile and Argentina, with partial visibility extending to parts of South America, Antarctica, and the Pacific Ocean.

This solar eclipse is commonly known as the “Ring of Fire,” during which the Moon will pass directly in front of the Sun but will appear smaller due to its distance from Earth, creating a striking ring effect around the darkened centre.

The eclipse will be visible from many places, especially in parts of Oceania and Antarctica, with up to 73% of the Sun covered in mainland New Zealand. The maximum eclipse will occur at around 7:43 PM UTC, and it will last for several hours.

Will it be visible from India?

The partial solar eclipse on September 21, 2025, will not be visible from India. The eclipse will primarily be observable in regions such as Australia, Antarctica, and parts of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. 

For those in India, the timing of the eclipse will occur during the night, making it impossible to see. The next opportunity for an annular solar eclipse visible in India will be on May 21, 2031.

What are Super Moons? How many Super Moons are there in 2025?

A supermoon is a special type of full moon that occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee. 

This means that during a supermoon, the moon appears larger and brighter than usual. The term “supermoon” isn’t an official scientific term, but it’s commonly used to describe this phenomenon. 

Typically, supermoons happen about three to four times a year. When you see a supermoon, it can look up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a regular full moon.

In 2025, there will be a total of three supermoons. These will occur on October 7, 2025, November 5, 2025, and December 4, 2025.
