A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Sunday, September 21, 2025, with a magnitude of 0.855. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
Partiality was visible across much of Oceania and Antarctica, with up to 80% coverage being visible at the southernmost point of New Zealand and on Stewart Island on the morning of September 22 local time. Most of New Zealand was covered in cloud on the morning of the eclipse, preventing many sightings.
