Partial Solar Eclipse
September 21, 2025 in South Pacific, New Zealand, Antarctica
On September 21, 2025 a partial Solar Eclipse can be seen from the South Pacific, New Zealand and the Antarctica. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun. This phenomenon can usually be seen from a large part of Earth outside of the track of an annular or total eclipse. However, some eclipses can only be seen as a partial eclipse, because the umbra passes above the Earth's polar regions and never intersects Earth's surface. (With material from: Wikipedia)
