A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Sunday, September 21, 2025,[1] with a magnitude of 0.855. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the 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.
Partiality will be visible across much of Oceania and Antarctica, with up to 73% coverage being visible in mainland New Zealand.[2]
