Several major solar eclipses are coming n the wake of the March 29, 2025, partial solar eclipse. Here’s where and when to see the best ones.

If that’s too long to wait, two total lunar eclipses are also coming, one in September and another next March. Unlike total solar eclipses, which are visible only along a narrow path on Earth’s surface, total lunar eclipses can be seen by mostly anyone on the night side of the planet.

Astronomy fans figuring out where and what time to see the March 29, 2025, partial solar eclipse can check out a map from NASA.

The partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, will be seen from North America, Europe, Russia and parts of Africa.

"It is always difficult to establish if the eclipses were seen in the ancient past as bad omens or good omens."

Weather could be an issue for many, but there are locations that will have a "fair chance" (about 40 to 60 percent) of getting a view of the partial eclipse.

On March 29, the Moon will wedge itself between the Sun and Earth, blocking only a part of the star from our view.

During a partial solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and Earth. The moon casts a shadow on Earth and only partly blocks the sun, making it appear like a crescent. Unlike a total solar eclipse, there’s no totality so experts say proper eye protection must be worn the whole time.
