The last solar eclipse of the year will be seen today October 25. It will be visible over Europe, western Asia and northeast Africa, and the Middle East, according to NASA.
This will be a partial eclipse, in which the Moon does not completely line up with the Earth and the Sun, so it does not completely cover the Sun. The performance of the event will peak at 11 a.m. coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
How to watch the eclipse
To view the eclipse safely, a person needs a special pair of eclipse viewing glasses or solar viewing glasses. Sunglasses don’t count. And don’t look directly at the sun during an eclipse.
If you don’t have the right glasses, you can make a mini projector to project the image of the eclipse onto a flat surface.
The next solar eclipse is April 20, 2023, but it will not be visible in North America. The next time the U.S. will see a solar eclipse is on Oct. 14, 2023, NASA said.
