The eclipse will be visible from:
- New Zealand (up to 72% Sun covered in Dunedin)
- Eastern Australia
- Antarctica
- Parts of South Pacific Ocean
In these regions, skywatchers will witness the Sun appearing like a glowing crescent as the Moon blocks part of it.
Will the September 21 Surya Grahan be visible in India?
No. Due to night-time in India, this eclipse won’t be visible anywhere in the country. People in India can, however, watch the event through live streaming online, provided by various observatories and space agencies.
Partial solar eclipse: What it means
Unlike a total Surya Grahan, where the Moon completely blocks the Sun, this will be a partial solar eclipse. That means only part of the Sun’s disk will be covered, creating a crescent-like glowing effect in the sky. The sky does not go completely dark during this type of eclipse.
The September 21, 2025 Surya Grahan is the last solar eclipse of the year and will be a spectacular sight in countries like New Zealand and Australia. In India, it won’t be visible due to timing, but enthusiasts can enjoy it through online live streams.
