A partial solar eclipse will occur on March 29, 2025. Viewers must use eclipse glasses or another safe solar viewer. Here's where to buy them.

Get those eclipse glasses ready! Later this week, many areas in the Northern Hemisphere will witness a partial solar eclipse. At no point will the Sun's disk be completely covered, so to witness the celestial event you need to make sure you use the right protection.

The whole of the March 29 partial solar eclipse occurs at an altitude over 34°, making it well placed for UK viewing. The best place to see it will be the north-west of Scotland, where 47.8m per cent of the sun will be covered by the moon. The south-east of England gets the smallest eclipse, with only 28.1% of the Sun hidden by the Moon.
