A phenomenon that will take place one day prior to the autumnal equinox Skywatchers are getting ready for another celestial spectacle as the final solar eclipse of 2025 occurs on Sunday night (September 21), following the dramatic Blood Moon earlier this year. Where it will be observable Parts of Australia, Antarctica, the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean will all be able to see the eclipse.
What to anticipate When the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth, a shadow is created that blocks sunlight, causing a solar eclipse. However, it will be a partial solar eclipse this time, with certain areas blocking up to 85% of the Sun. On Monday, the event will start at 9:29 p.m. UAE time, peak at 11:41 p.m., and end at 1:53 a.m.
An eclipse-filled year Four eclipses have already occurred in 2025: two total lunar eclipses and two partial solar eclipses. The second and last solar eclipse of the year will occur on Sunday. The eclipse is all the more significant since it falls on September 22, the autumnal equinox, when the Sun is exactly above the equator. Since the Earth is not slanted toward or away from the Sun on this particular day, there are almost equal amounts of daylight and darkness throughout the world.
What comes next Even though this eclipse will not be seen in most parts of the earth, astronomy aficionados can anticipate such events in the future. Two solar eclipses are planned for August 12, 2026, and February 17, 2026.
