On Saturday, March 29, 2025, residents of Ukraine will be able to observe a rare astronomical phenomenon - a partial solar eclipse. According to scientists, this eclipse will be noticeable throughout the country, and the best conditions for its observation are expected in the central and western regions.
What is solar eclipse?
The solar eclipse occurs when the moon finds itself between the earth and the sun, partially or completely covered with its light. In March, Ukrainians will be able to see a partial eclipse - this means that the moon will only cover a certain part of the solar disk.
The time and features of the darkening
As the Google Interactive Map shows, on March 29, 2025, 94% of the sun will be closed by the month at the peak moment of eclipse. In Kiev, it will last from 10:50 to 14:43, and the maximum phase is expected about 12:30. Although complete eclipse will be visible only in the northern regions of Canada, partial eclipse will cover most of Europe, including Ukraine.
How safe is the eclipse?
Observing the sun without special protective equipment is extremely dangerous for vision. Use special sunglasses, filters or projection methods for safe viewing of this phenomenon. It is strictly forbidden to look at the sun through ordinary sunglasses, binoculars or cameras without filters.
The impact of eclipse on a person
Studies show that solar eclipses can affect the psycho -emotional state of people. According to psychologists, such phenomena can cause a sense of reverence and unity with others. Studies conducted after the 2017 eclipse have shown that many people have felt a splash of emotions, inspiration and increased social interaction.
Why is eclipse important for science?
Such events allow astronomers to explore the atmosphere of the sun and other cosmic phenomena. During eclipses, you can observe the outer crown of the sun, which is usually hidden by the bright light of the star.
The partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025 will be an interesting sight for astronomers and all indifferent to space phenomena. The main thing is not to forget about the safety of observation and to enjoy this unique moment!
