The night sky has been full of wonders this month. Just a few days ago, stargazers witnessed a total lunar eclipse or Blood Moon, and now it is time for another cosmic spectacle: the final solar eclipse of 2025. Unlike a total eclipse, where the Sun is completely hidden, this will be a partial solar eclipse, meaning the Moon will cover only a part of the Sun. Such events are not only a treat for astronomy lovers but also a reminder of the beautiful movements of celestial bodies that we often take for granted.
