The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced that a partial solar eclipse will occur on Sunday and will be visible in parts of the Southern Hemisphere.
The solar eclipse of 2025 will cast its shadow over regions with low human population. As a result, only around 16.6 million people globally will have the chance to witness the celestial event.
What is solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially.
When to see solar eclipse 2025?
According to Climate Data Processing Centre of the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the solar eclipse 2025 will start at 10:30pm Pakistani time (PKT) on September 21, reach its peak at 12:42am (PKT) on September 22, and end at 2:54am (PKT) the same night.
How to see solar eclipse 2025?
Anyone planning to see the solar eclipse today should remember to use safe solar viewing methods. Forgetting to do so can cause severe affect on eyes.
No part of a partial solar eclipse is safe to view without proper eye protection because some of the sun’s powerful light will always be visible.
To observe the partial solar eclipse safely, wear certified eclipse glasses or use a handheld solar viewer labelled with the ISO 12312-2 international standard.
According to the American Astronomical Society, if you normally wear eyeglasses, keep them on and put eclipse glasses over them or hold a handheld viewer in front of them.
Will solar eclipse be visible in Pakistan today?
The PMD said that the solar eclipse 2025 today will not be visible in Pakistan.
Earlier this month, a lunar eclipse was observed in Pakistan on September 7 and 8, 2025, as well as in several other parts of the world.
