Greenland: The first solar eclipse of 2025 occurred yesterday, visible across parts of North America, Europe, Africa, northern Asia, parts of South America, the Arctic Circle, and much of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. In Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, most of the eclipse was able to be viewed by people. Meanwhile, residents and tourists on Denmark's Romo Island watched a partial eclipse move around the outer rim of the Sun. Yesterday's eclipse is expected to be the only one of its kind in 2025 for Europe and North America.
According to Thai News Agency, in Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory near the North Pole, the moon blocked most of the sun in the sky. A thin crescent moon emerged from behind clouds as the sky darkened. In London, England, half of the once-bright sun was blocked by a partial solar eclipse. According to the Greenwich Royal Observatory website, the moon blocked about 40 percent of the sun at its brightest.
NASA says that while the first partial solar eclipse of the year will be visible from many parts of the world, no one will be able to see the total eclipse this time around.
