Partial Solar Eclipse: Northern Hemisphere | Europe's Meteosat-12 Earth Satellite

A stunning view of the partial solar eclipse in Earth's northern hemisphere on March 29, 2025 from space! 🌒 Unlike a total eclipse, part of the Sun remained visible. Did you catch it from the ground?👀

The image was captured by EUMETSAT's Meteosat-12 satellite. You can see the Moon’s shadow sweeping across Earth between 06:00 - 12:30 UTC.

On March 29, 2025, the Moon passed in front of and partially blocked the Sun, casting a shadow on parts of the Earth's Northern Hemisphere. The central part of the Moon’s shadow, where the Sun appears completely blocked, missed Earth, so no one was able to see a total solar eclipse this time. 

The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) is an intergovernmental organization created through an international convention agreed by a current total of 30 European Member States.

EUMETSAT's primary objective is to establish, maintain and exploit European systems of operational meteorological satellites. EUMETSAT is responsible for the launch and operation of the satellites and for delivering satellite data to end-users as well as contributing to the operational monitoring of climate and the detection of global climate changes.
