eclipses of the Sun and Moon. In most years, there are multiple chances to witness the astonishing event of one celestial body blocking another, and one of those moments is approaching soon. On September 21, 2025, a partial solar eclipse is expected to occur. Dubbed the “equinox eclipse” — due to its timing just one day prior to the autumnal equinox — this specific eclipse will only be visible from New Zealand, Antarctica, and certain areas of the South Pacific.
Experts predict that there will be an 86% coverage of the Sun by the Moon this time, with optimal viewing likely to be found in the southern regions of New Zealand and from the numerous research stations in Antarctica. Want the prime spots? You’ll need to be in the Southern Hemisphere.
Regrettably, this marks the final solar eclipse of the year, implying that most of the Earth will not get the chance to step outside and gaze up at the sky to see the Moon concealing the Sun. However, that doesn’t imply you can’t observe it at all.
