On October 25, the partial solar eclipse
Between 11 and 15, it depends on the place from which it is observed, the Moon will pass in front of our star partially obscuring it and thus giving life to the eclipse. But since, the Moon and the Sun will not be perfectly aligned, the satellite will not completely cover the sun and, when this is “bitten” by the shadow of the moon, it will take on a crescent shape.
That’s when it will be visible in Italy
The show can also be admired in Italy, as it was said. The event will take place between 11 and 15, depending on where you are. In Rome, for example, it will start at 11:25 and finish at 13:19.
