On March 29, residents of North America, Greenland, Europe and West Africa were able to see a partial solar eclipse. The editors of Universe Space Tech have collected the best shots of the celestial spectacle.
Perhaps the most unusual and spectacular photo of the eclipse was taken by photographer Fabrizio Melandri in Maine. He managed to capture the “flaming horns” that appeared at the moment of sunrise, most of the disk of which was already hidden by the Moon.
Spanish astrophotographer Ignacio Izquierdo also managed to make a very unusual shot. He captured the moment of the airplane’s passage against the background of the Sun partially hidden by the Moon.
This photo shows the moment of the maximum phase of the eclipse in England.
And here’s how the eclipse looked in Iceland.
This image shows a view of the eclipse in a telescope with an H-alpha filter attached.
The last image in our selection was obtained by the Meteosat-12 satellite in geostationary orbit. It managed to capture the moon’s shadow on the earth’s surface.
The animation shown, compiled from Meteosat-12 images, demonstrates as the shadow moved during the eclipse.

In a partial solar eclipse, the Moon moves between Earth and the Sun, partially blocking the sunlight.
So for us on Earth, it seems like there is a shadow on the Sun but… pic.twitter.com/TxxN1Im6hK— ESA Earth Observation (@ESA_EO) March 29, 2025
