A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Tuesday, October 25, 2022,[1][2][3][4][5] with a magnitude of 0.8623. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
The eclipse was visible from Europe, Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia and from Northeast Africa. The maximal phase of the partial eclipse occurred on the West Siberian Plain in Russia near Nizhnevartovsk, where more than 82% of the Sun was eclipsed by the Moon. In India, the Sun was eclipsed during sunset ranging from 58% in the north and around 2% in the south. From Western Europe it appeared to be around 15-30% eclipsed. It was visible between 08:58 UTC, the greatest point of eclipse occurred at 11:00 UTC and it ended at 13:02 UTC.
