After the total eclipse of the moon who enchanted most people in the world (including us), the sky gives another show, although unfortunately not visible live here. On September 21 there is a realistic Partial eclipse of sunwhich can only be admired in New Zealand and part of theAustralia (as well as in various islands of the Pacific Ocean and in Antarctica). For us it is already ready streamingwhich we recommend not to lose.
What is the partial eclipse of sun
When sun, moon and earth are perfectly aligned in this order, our satellite “covers” our star, which for a few minutes will therefore appear completely obscured, and in this case the extraordinary event called ‘is verified’Total eclipse of sun‘. If, on the other hand, alignment is not perfect, we talk about Partial eclipse of sun And our star appears “eaten” for one part.
The phenomenon is actually due toShadow of the Moon projected on earthwhich generates a cone of darkness on our planet, from which the phenomenon is observed. It is therefore not the moon in itself that obscures the sun as it is sometimes believed sometimes.
An eclipse “for a few”
The next eclipse can be seen by a few lucky ones on earth, as can be seen from the percentages in the table, but For New Zealand it is an almost unique opportunitygiven that most of the phenomena of this type that occur in the Pacific, do not touch the few lands that emerged in the ocean.
What will happen on September 21, 2025
As he explains Timeandathe next partial eclipse of the sun will be visible in New Zealand, as well as by a thin strip of the Eastern coast of Australia, by various Pacific islands and parts of Antarctica.
Of course, due to the time zone, even if the date in time UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) is September 21 (as will be from this part of the planet), the New Zealanders will be able to admire it at dawn on September 22.
The phenomenon will begin the September 21 at 7.29 pm Italian time and will last until 11.53 pm, with the maximum, which will arrive at80% coverage of the solar diskforeseen at 21.42.
We do not make commitments and connect to the streaming made available by Timeanda.
