What is a Partial Solar Eclipse?

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth, fully or partially blocking the Sun's light in some areas.

According to NASA, A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth but the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not perfectly lined up. Only a part of the Sun will appear to be covered, giving it a crescent shape.

Where will the eclipse be visible?

This partial solar eclipse will be visible in the region covering Europe, the Middle East, north-eastern parts of Africa, western Asia, the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Indian Ocean tomorrow, October 25. Most states of India will also get to witness this amazing phenomenon.

However, if the eclipse is not visible in your city, you can still witness it through various livestreams around the world.
