March 29 Solar Eclipse: Full List of States to Witness Partial Eclipse | Visibility & Key Details

New Delhi: The world is to witness a partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, as the Moon will pass in front of and partially block the Sun, casting a shadow on parts of the Northern Hemisphere. The central portion of the Moon’s shadow, where the Sun would be fully obscured, misses Earth, meaning no one will witness a total solar eclipse this time.

During partial solar eclipses, or even on any regular day, sunspots can sometimes be seen on the Sun when using eclipse glasses or safe solar filters.

Where will Partial Solar Eclipse be Visible?

Though this partial solar eclipse will not be visible from India, but you can view it in sections of North America,  Europe, Africa, northern Asia, small parts of South America, throughout Greenland and Iceland, as well as much of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans.  

In much of the Americas, including the northeastern US, the partial solar eclipse will begin at sunrise. In western Europe and northwestern Africa, it starts mid- to late morning, while in eastern Europe and northern Asia, it will mostly take place in the afternoon or early evening.

How to Watch and Safety Measure to Follow?

During a partial solar eclipse, never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection. Always use certified solar viewing glasses ("eclipse glasses") or a safe handheld solar viewer. Regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for solar viewing. Ensure the glasses comply with the ISO 12312-2 standard.

Do not look at the Sun through a camera lens, telescope, or binoculars while wearing eclipse glasses or using a solar viewer. The concentrated solar rays can burn through the filter and cause serious eye injury. Use a special-purpose solar filter for any optical device when observing the Sun.

If you don't have eclipse glasses or a viewer, you can use indirect viewing methods, like a pinhole projector. This involves creating a small hole (e.g., in an index card) to project an image of the Sun onto a surface. Alternatively, tree leaves act as natural pinholes, casting the eclipse shape beneath them.
