A pair of lunar eclipses are expected in 2025, according to the Associated Press, citing the new year’s astronomical and cosmological events.

The next total solar eclipse is in 2026 however, a parade of six planets in January that will be visible for weeks will take place in January and in February we will also be able to see Mercury.

Our “neighboring” planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn will form an arc from mid-January and will be visible with the naked eye after sunset, while a telescope will only be needed to see Neptune and Uranus.

Regarding eclipses, the moon will disappear for more than an hour over North and South America on March 14.

Two weeks later there will be a partial solar eclipse visible from Maine, eastern Canada, Greenland, Europe, Siberia and northwest Africa.

The cosmic double eclipse will repeat in September with an even larger total lunar eclipse over Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia and a partial solar eclipse two weeks later.

Three super-full moons are expected this year in October, November and December.

November’s supermoon will be closest at 356,980 km.

At the same time, more geomagnetic storms are expected.

In shooting star storms, the Perseids and Didymides are classically the protagonists in August and December, respectively. But meteor showers like the Lyrids in April, the Orionids in October and the Leonids in November.
