🌟 Mark Your Calendar: Solar Eclipse — September 21, 2025
On this day, the Moon will slide across the Sun and create a partial solar eclipse — with up to ~80% coverage and the best views across Australia & Oceania. Expect a dimmer golden sky and a brilliant crescent Sun glowing with its fiery corona.
🔭 What’s happening?
• The Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, hiding part of the solar disk.
• Because the alignment isn’t perfect, this is partial: the Sun becomes a glowing crescent.
• As sunlight filters through the atmosphere, colors deepen — oranges, purples, and blues create a cinematic sky.
📅 When & Where
• Date: September 21, 2025
• Region: Widest visibility across Australia & Oceania
• Tip: The spectacle is most dramatic near sunrise or sunset when the Sun sits low.
😎 How to watch safely:
• Use certified eclipse glasses or solar filters — never look with the naked eye.
• A pinhole projector also works for safe viewing.
• Notice the cooler air and sharper shadows as the eclipse progresses.
✨ Why it’s special:
Even as a partial eclipse, it reminds us of the cosmic harmony of Earth, Moon, and Sun, turning an ordinary sky into an extraordinary spectacle.
