Partial Solar eclipse will take place on Tuesday, October 25, and will be visible in the northern hemisphere, Africa, Asia and Europe, including our country, starting shortly after noon. The next solar eclipse that can be seen from our country will occur in 2027.

The maximum phase of the eclipse will be observed in Central Russia and Western Siberia, where the Moon will cover about 85% of the solar disk. In central Greece and Athens, the duration of the eclipse will be approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. It will start at 12:36 p.m., maximum coverage of the solar disk (almost 38%, a percentage that will reach 46% at the northeastern border of the country) will occur at 13:43 p.m., and end at 13:43 p.m. 14:51 . In Thessaloniki, the partial eclipse will begin at 12:30 pm, peak at 1:38 pm, and end at 2:46 pm.

A partial eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, covering only part of our star. And even then, the eclipse can be safely observed not directly with the naked eye (there is a risk of serious damage), but through binoculars or a telescope with a special solar filter.

A total lunar eclipse will follow on November 7, which will be the last total eclipse of 2022. There will be four eclipses in 2023: a total solar eclipse on April 20, a lunar eclipse on May 5-6, and an annular solar eclipse on April 20. October 14 and partial lunar October 28-29.
