The first of two solar eclipses in 2025 – and the only one visible from the northern hemisphere – will have astrophotographers and stargazers out in force this weekend, with those in eastern North America set to have the most dramatic views. Observers in this area, including myself, will – clear skies allowing – be treated to a partial solar eclipse to remember as up to 93 percent of the sun is blocked by the moon during sunrise.
And while the northeastern US and eastern Canada will likely get the best views, the solar eclipse will also be visible in Western Europe, albeit with less obscuration (31 percent in London). As always, you must use solar eclipse glasses and solar filters if you intend to photograph the eclipse on March 29.
