The stars will be out in January. On January 13th is a lunar eclipse and the moon will look like it is passing in front of Mars. All through January there will be planets shining brightly in the sky a few hours after sunset. That's good news for those of us who really enjoyed the solar eclipse.
No solar eclipse, though, like last year's. There is one on March 29 2025 that will be viewable in eastern Canada, maybe some in Toronto/Niagara. So let's be hopeful.
Here the screenshot of the interactive map for tracing the path of the solar eclipses up until 2030.
The lunar eclipse in March is known as a Blood Moon eclipse. "For a whopping 65 minutes, the full moon will pass through Earth’s inner shadow — its umbra — and turn a weird-looking reddish color. During totality, the moon’s crimson glow will dominate the sky, making it a must-see event if the skies are clear. Observers across Europe will only catch a glimpse of the eclipse during moonset."
The March 29th solar eclipse is a sunrise occurrence. It will be viewable in parts of eastern North American and Europe. Maine and Quebec will see the sun rise as a crescent with two "horns" visible on the horizon. I wonder what that means. You can see the animation video HERE.
So while not the excitement of last year, it is good news for 2025 in eclipse land.
How similar the sky and earth are - these cactus plants look like fireworks.
