According to astrophysicist Debi Prasad Duari, a partial [solar eclipse](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/34787/why-is-the-solar-eclipse-dangerous-to-look-at) will occur on October 25 during the Diwali holiday and will be visible from the city [as well as](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2481/can-you-write-a-java-class-that-could-be-used-both-as-an-applet-as-well-as-an-application) from the [majority](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81389/time-for-putin-s-popularity-led-by-majority) of the nation. However, the second partial solar eclipse in 2022 would only be visible in the eastern metropolis for a very little period of time; the northern and western parts of the [country](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85543/do-you-think-that-french-will-be-islamic-country) will be better equipped to view the celestial phenomena, he said. **Northeastern India would not be able to view the eclipse because it will take place after sunset there, according to Duari.** According to Duari, the partial cosmic event on October 25 will be visible across portions of Europe, northern Africa, the [Middle East](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113774/how-might-current-geopolitical-tensions-in-the-middle-east-affect-global-energy-markets-this-year), and Asia in addition to India. '**The partial solar eclipse will start in Iceland at 14:29 IST and reach its peak in Russia around 16:30 IST (IST).

'The Sun, Moon, and Earth nearly align in a [straight line](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/35148/which-is-the-only-us-state-not-to-have-a-straight-line-in-its-border) during the new moon (Amavasya), allowing us to observe the moon from Earth without any direct [sunlight](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12887/why-does-your-skin-become-darker-while-staying-in-the-sunlight) hitting it. But occasionally, like on October 25, when the Sun, Moon, and Earth will almost be in the same plane, a partial solar eclipse will occur as the moon will appear to partially obscure the Sun for a brief period of time. According to Duari, the **partial eclipse will start in and around the city at about 16:52, reach its maximum at 17:01, and end at 17:03, when the sun will be setting. Only 4% of the Sun's illuminated disc will be obscured** by the Moon, he claimed, even at the height of the eclipse. **Approximately 8.91% of the Sun will be hidden by the [Moon's](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2131/what-exactly-is-the-man-in-the-moon-and-how-did-it-come-to-be) disc at the time of the maximum eclipse, which will take place at roughly 16:56 local time in the north Bengali city of Siliguri, according to Duari.** **The maximum eclipse will happen at 17:42 hours, when the Sun will be obscured by the Moon by a mere 24.5%, according to Duari. 'In New Delhi, it will start at around 16:29 hours and end with the sunset at 18:09 hours,' he said.** The [**eclipse**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2130/after-a-disastrous-launch-a-japanese-space-rocket-was-commanded-to-self-destruct) will be visible in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, from 16:26 to 18:09, at its peak at about 17:30. when a 42.5% occlusion of the Sun's disc will occur. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2136/on-october-25-a-partial-solar-eclipse-will-be-seen-in-certain-areas-of-india Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
