What kind of eclipse this is
The eclipse of September 21, 2025 is partial, which means only part of the disc is covered, and there is no track of totality anywhere on Earth. Maximum falls at 19:42 UTC with the Sun at 29°05' Virgo and the Moon at 28°59' Virgo, close enough to a node on that date for the three bodies to line up rather than merely conjoin.
It is one of 2 eclipses inside a single season, the others falling on September 7, 2025, which is the pattern how eclipse seasons work explains.
