Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21 Will Favor New Zealand and the South Pacific

Germany will not see the event, with the next chance there on 12 August 2026.

Overview

  • The eclipse is forecast for Sunday, 21 September 2025, with MESZ timing of 19:29 start, 21:41 maximum, and 23:53 end.
  • It will be visible in New Zealand, parts of Antarctica and the South Pacific, occurring there in the morning as evening approaches in Central Europe.
  • Peak coverage reaches about 80 percent in select locations, mainly over Antarctica and open ocean.
