We have already told you about the eclipse that will also be visible from Rome. But coming soon, there will be another event not to be missed. The partial solar eclipse of September 21, 2025, which will begin at 17: 29 GMT (19:29 in Italy) and last more than four hours, with the maximum obscuration of the Sun occurring at 19:41 GMT, when the Moon will cover about 80% of the solar disk, resulting in a very thin solar crescent. Must-see.
During the eclipse, in areas where it is observable, the Sun will appear partly hidden by the Moon, creating a significant natural spectacle for astronomy enthusiasts and scholars.
Will it be possible to see the partial eclipse from Rome?
In Italy and Europe, this eclipse will not be visible because the solar dimming occurs in regions far from our continent. The eclipse is also a special event because it coincides with the autumnal equinox. It is one of four solar eclipses expected in 2025, although this one will be the least visible for our hemisphere.
The partial solar eclipse on September 21, 2025 can be viewed live online. Because the event will be visible only in parts of the southern hemisphere, such as New Zealand, southern Australia, and Antarctica, many platforms and astronomical observatories often organize live streaming to allow the global audience to follow it.
You can see it on specialized astronomy websites and science portals, or on YouTube channels dedicated to astronomy, which live stream solar eclipses even if they are not visible from your place of residence. These streams allow you to watch the eclipse unfold in real time with commentary and explanations.
We advise you to keep monitored in the days immediately preceding channels such as Time and Date, to watch the event even from the capital. The sky will soon give us another spectacle … albeit (visible live) a long way from Italy.
