The moon will cross in front of the sun on Tuesday (Oct.25), generating a partial solar eclipse, the last solar eclipse of 2022. The second and last solar eclipse of the year will be visible exclusively from certain portions of the globe, primarily in Europe, Africa, and Asia. In the United States, this eclipse will not be visible.
Don’t worry if you don’t live in one of those places. Even though millions of people around the world will be unable to experience the partial solar eclipse in person, they can watch it live on the internet via a variety of websites.
The start time of the eclipse will be determined by where observers are located around the planet. The eclipse will begin over the Atlantic Ocean around 08:58:20 GMT, which is approximately 4:58 a.m. EDT. It will come to an end at 9:01 a.m. EDT (1301 GMT).
According to former NASA astrophysicist and eclipse expert Fred Espenak (opens in new tab), the eclipse will peak at 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT).
On Tuesday, October 25, there will be no total solar eclipse visible anywhere on the planet. This is because the moon and sun will not be precisely aligned throughout the eclipse. Instead, the sun will look to have been bitten by a hideous creature, an appropriately ominous sight for the week before Halloween.
