When the Moon covers the Sun, being between the Earth and our star, a solar eclipse occurs. When the Moon does not completely cover the Sun, a partial solar eclipse occurs and soon residents of Ukraine will also be able to see it. This eclipse will occur on Saturday, March 29 and will be a deep partial solar eclipse, writes Space.

A deep partial solar eclipse will be visible from the Northern Hemisphere. At this time, the Moon's shadow will move across the Earth's surface for a long time, although in some regions of the Earth the solar eclipse will last only a few minutes. Despite the fact that the Moon will not completely cover the Sun, it will still be a relatively large solar eclipse.
Although this astronomical phenomenon will be visible across most of Europe, the partial solar eclipse will be best seen in the northeastern regions of North America.
Up to 94% of the Sun will be occluded by the Moon during a partial solar eclipse in North America, while in Europe it will be occluded between 86% and 15%. In the north-west of Ukraine it will also be possible to see a partial solar eclipse, although the Sun will be blocked by the Moon quite a bit. The astronomical phenomenon itself will last from 10:50 to 14:43 Kyiv time on March 29, 2025. During this time, the shadow of the moon will move along the ground and in different regions of planets you can observe a completely different solar eclipse, which will differ in duration.
In total, more than 800 million people will be in the path of a partial solar eclipse in 2025, but only a few tens of thousands of people in Canada will see the Sun obscured by the Moon as much as possible.
During a partial solar eclipse, you should not look at the Sun without special glasses, otherwise your eyesight may be seriously damaged..
Basically, residents of most of the Northern Hemisphere will be able to see during the eclipse how the Moon creates a kind of crescent of the Sun when it covers part of our star during its orbital movement.
As Focus already wrote, last year two unknown objects were photographed during a total solar eclipse.
Focus also wrote that the strange quasi-satellite of the Earth was named in honor of the goddess of door hinges. In addition to the Moon, our planet also has quasi-satellites, and one of them received an official name 21 years after its discovery.
Focus also wrote about an unusual phenomenon that astronomers discovered on the Sun, and it occurs before solar flares occur on our star.
