1. The First 'Blood Moon' Eclipse Since 2022

When: March 13–14, 2025 In mid-March, North and South America will be treated to a spectacular total lunar eclipse — the first of its kind since November 2022! During the early morning hours, the full moon will glide into Earth's shadow, creating a mesmerizing crimson glow for an impressive 65 minutes. This event is a must-see, especially for those in North America. However, European skywatchers will only catch a brief glimpse of the eclipse during moonset, so plan accordingly!

2. A Sunrise Solar Eclipse for North America

When: March 29, 2025 Later in March, parts of eastern North America and Europe will experience a partial solar eclipse. Early risers in places like Maine and Quebec will watch the sun rise as a crescent shape — a truly breathtaking sight. The depth of the eclipse varies in Europe, with Dublin and Edinburgh experiencing 41% and 40% obscuration, respectively. As always, it's crucial to protect your eyes by using proper solar eclipse glasses or solar filters!

3. A Stunning 'Blood Moon' for Asia

When: September 7–8, 2025 The second total lunar eclipse of the year will bestow another captivating "Blood Moon," this time visible from Europe, Africa, and Asia. Unfortunately, North and South America will miss out on this enchanting spectacle. As the full moon ascends on the evening of September 7, it will already be in total eclipse across Europe — a phenomenal chance for enthusiasts to snap breathtaking photographs.

4. An 'Equinox Eclipse' for the Southern Hemisphere

When: September 21, 2025 As the Southern Hemisphere transitions into a new season, skywatchers can look forward to a second partial solar eclipse. Occurring just before the equinox, this event will showcase dramatic views from New Zealand, where up to 73% of the sun will be obscured at sunrise! Research stations in Antarctica, like McMurdo Station, will witness 69% obscuration, with other locations in the South Pacific, including Fiji and Tonga, also getting great views.
