The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) explains that solar eclipses occur when the sun, the moon and the earth align, either total or partially. Depending on how they align, eclipses offer a unique and exciting view of the sun or the moon.
During March 2025, a partial sun eclipse will be visible. This phenomenon occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, but these three bodies are not completely aligned. Only a part of the sun will be covered, which will give it a crescent form.
On Saturday, March 29, spectators will observe a partial solar eclipse. This makes March one of the months most appreciated by those who have witnessed a Planet alignment and of a lunar eclipse or blood moon.
In which countries will the partial sun eclipse visible?
The eclipse will be visible in areas of North America, northern Russia and Canada, Africa, northern Asia, small parts of South America, Greenland and Iceland, as well as in large part of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, explains the engineer Eleonora Poitevin, president of the Guatemalan Association of Astronomy (AGA).
Partly in the United Statesthe partial solar eclipse will already be ongoing at dawn. In Western Europe and northwest Africa, the eclipse will begin at mid -morning or endaccording to NASA’s page.
In Guatemala it will not be visible. Poitevin recommends being attentive to networks by the publications that shared the people located in the places where it can be observed. It will be received between 45 and 50 % solar coverage in most places.
In Greenland the maximum time will be at 8.53 hours (4.53 Guatemala) and 83% of the Sun will be covered. In Boston, Massachusetts will reach 43%.
Mario Gálvez, President Guatemalan Association of Engineering and Space Sciences (Agice) also invites you to follow the different pages that will be active such as the POTthe European Space Agency, as well as astrophotographers who are aware of these phenomena. This will safely see the event and how it develops in other places on the planet.
The next total eclipses of Sun will be in the Arctic, Greenland and Iceland, on August 12, 2026. On August 2, 2027, it will be visible in Morocco, Spain and Algeria; While on July 22, 2028, it will look at Australia and New Zealand. In 2030, for November 25 it will be in Botsuana, South Africa and Australia.
Other sun eclipses will be on January 26, 2028 and January 14, 2029.
