When the sun will “hide”: When and where we will see a solar eclipse in Greece

by

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, covering only part of our star.

A partial solar eclipse will take place on Tuesday 25 October and will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere, Africa, Asia and Europe, among others in Greece, starting shortly after noon. The next solar eclipse that will be visible from our country, it will be 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 in Athens the duration of the eclipse it will be about 2 hours and 15 minutes. It will begin at 12:36 pm, the maximum coverage of the solar disk (almost 38%, a percentage that will reach 46% in the northeastern border of the country) will happen at 13:43 and the phenomenon will end at 14:51. In Thessaloniki the partial eclipse will start at 12:30, peak at 13:38 and end at 14:46.

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, covering only part of our star. Even then, the eclipse cannot be safely observed 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. In 2023, there will be four eclipses: one total solar on April 20, one lunar on May 5-6, one annular solar on October 14 and one partial lunar on October 28-29.
