The night sky is preparing for another celestial display. September brings the year’s final solar eclipse, sparking curiosity among skywatchers across the globe.

When will the September 2025 solar eclipse occur?
The last solar eclipse of 2025 falls on 21 September. It will be a partial eclipse, with the Moon blocking up to 85 percent of the Sun in some areas. The event begins at 10:59 PM IST, peaks at 1:11 AM IST on 22 September, and ends at 3:23 AM IST.

Will India witness the partial solar eclipse?
Unfortunately, the Sun will already be below India’s horizon during this eclipse. Skywatchers across India will miss the spectacle entirely. Other regions, including Europe, Africa and the Americas will also not see it. The event remains visible mainly in the Southern Hemisphere.

Where will the September eclipse be visible?
Australia and New Zealand will enjoy the most dramatic views. In some regions of Antarctica, the Moon will cover most of the Sun. Many Pacific Island nations will witness partial darkening of the skies. Observers in these regions will experience the event during their local early morning or late evening hours.

When will India next see a solar eclipse?
The next solar eclipse visible in India will occur on 2 August 2027. That day, the Sun will appear partially obscured behind the Moon during late afternoon and early evening. Until then, Indian skywatchers will wait for another rare opportunity.

The September 2025 eclipse provides Southern Hemisphere viewers a remarkable spectacle. For India, the heavens will remain hidden until the next event in 2027.
