A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, covering a part—but not all—of the Sun’s disk.
This creates a dramatic effect where the Sun appears as a glowing crescent, with the Moon’s silhouette shaded across it.

During this event, up to 85% of the Sun will be obscured in optimal viewing locations.
However, the eclipse will not be visible in India, as the Sun will already have set.
The partial eclipse can be witnessed mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, including regions such as New Zealand, eastern Australia, Pacific Islands, Antarctica, and the South Pacific.

Solar eclipses offer an exciting opportunity for scientists to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona, and inspire skywatchers and educators around the world. While Indian viewers will miss this celestial event, it still holds cultural significance in many societies, often associated with rituals and folklore.
