During a partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, the moon bit off more than it could chew, taking a dramatic 'bite' out of the sun. From crisp crescent-shaped suns to the rare 'devil's horns' and 'double sunrise,' March's solar eclipse left skywatchers in awe — especially those in the right place at the right time.

 

 

 

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon partially covers the sun, leaving a glowing crescent. Globally, the eclipse began at 4:50 a.m. EDT (0850 GMT), with the maximum eclipse peaking at 6:47 a.m. EDT (1047 GMT). Skywatchers in parts of North America and Europe enjoyed the best views.

 

Unlike a total solar eclipse, the sun was never completely blocked, so observers needed solar viewing equipment such as solar eclipse glasses or special solar filters on their cameras, telescopes and binoculars to enjoy the sun safely.

"The lunar eclipse the other week was disappointingly cloudy, making the chance to watch and photograph today's solar eclipse more exciting." Andy Moran told Space.com.

 

Meanwhile, at Stonehenge, the clouds in the sky slipped away just in time to offer great views of the eclipse over the ancient monument.
 

"Look how the skies have cleared up," astrophotographer Josh Dury said in a video update. "So lucky from England to have some of the best clear skies for this event."

The second and last 2025 solar eclipse will take place in September 21st, but will only be visible in remote areas of Pacific Ocean and Antarctica.
