Deep partial solar eclipse will grace the Northern Hemisphere

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, a deep partial solar eclipse will grace the Northern Hemisphere. Although there won't be totality, this celestial event promises to captivate millions in Europe, North America, and parts of Africa. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon travels between the Earth and the sun, obscuring a segment of the sun's disk.

This phenomenon will create the illusion that the moon has taken a "bite" out of the sun. The eclipse will commence at 4:50 a.m. EDT (08:50 GMT) and conclude at 8:43 a.m. EDT (12:43 GMT), with its peak at 6:47 a.m. EDT (10:47 GMT). Northern Quebec, Canada, will witness the maximum obscuration, where as much as 94% of the sun will be hidden. The most breathtaking views will be in extreme eastern Canada and the northeastern United States, where observers will see a dramatically crescent-shaped sun rising. Areas like New Brunswick, northern Quebec, and Maine will experience a striking phenomenon as two solar "horns" briefly appear as the sun emerges. In Europe, the eclipse will be visible across much of the continent, with deeper shadows cast in the northwest. Greenland will see up to 86% coverage, while Iceland's Westfjords will experience 70%. Cities such as London, Edinburgh, and Paris will catch a distinctive "bite" taken out of the sun. In Africa, the eclipse will be subtler, with Morocco experiencing the most significant coverage on the continent at up to 18%. To safely view this eclipse, it's crucial to utilize appropriate eye protection, such as solar eclipse glasses or a solar filter for telescopes. A pinhole projector is also a simple and effective alternative for those without specialized gear. Ensure your safety while enjoying this extraordinary event!

Ozone depletion, leading to increased UV radiation reaching Earth, poses significant risks to human health (skin cancer, cataracts), ecosystems (damaging aquatic life and crops), and material degradation.
In summer in tropical region high sunshine welcome and heavy rainfall in rainforest region.
