Europe Gazes as Partial Solar Eclipse Transfixes the Continent

W. Syaban

April 02, 2025

Approximately 20% of the Sun's surface was obscured by the Moon; however, due to overcast conditions, the partial solar eclipse remained unseen by many across much of Europe, as well as certain areas in North America and Africa.

On Saturday, a partial solar eclipse could be seen across eastern North America, Greenland, much of Europe, northern Russia, and portions of northwestern Africa. Up to one-fifth of the Sun’s surface was covered by the Moon during this event. The maximum point of the eclipse occurred approximately at 12:15 CET (11:15 UTC/GMT), continuing for an additional 50 minutes afterward.

The German Weather Service (D) had previously quashed expectations of a completely clear sky, necessary for unobstructed viewing of the astronomical event.

Officials cautioned Germans not to look directly at the sun unprotected, particularly when using devices like binoculars or telescopes.

When a solar eclipse happens, the moon moves between the Earth and the sun. Since the moon's orbital path is somewhat inclined, these eclipses do not take place monthly.

The upcoming partial solar eclipse visible from Germany is scheduled for August 12, 2026, when over 80% of the Sun will be obscured.
