Spectacular Partial Solar Eclipse Dazzles Skywatchers Across the Globe

Skywatchers across North America and Europe were treated to a breathtaking partial solar eclipse on March 29, as the moon appeared to take a dramatic ‘bite’ out of the sun. The celestial event created stunning visual effects, from crescent-shaped suns to the rare ‘devil’s horns’ phenomenon.

The eclipse began at 4:50 a.m. EDT (0850 GMT) and peaked at 6:47 a.m. EDT (1047 GMT). Unlike a total eclipse, the sun remained partially visible, requiring solar viewing glasses or specialized filters for safe observation.

Notable sightings included an awe-inspiring eclipse over Stonehenge as the skies cleared just in time, a striking silhouette of the Liver Bird statue in Liverpool, and a magnificent view from Nuuk, Greenland. Enthusiasts at Keele Observatory in the U.K. and across Spain also captured dramatic images of the celestial event.

For those eager for the next eclipse, a partial solar eclipse is set to occur on Sept. 21, 2025, though it will be visible mainly from remote areas of the Southern Hemisphere.
