2025 is bringing us four incredible eclipses—two lunar (chand garahn) and two solar (suraj garahn)!

In 2025, Pakistan will witness a series of four eclipses. Which include two lunar eclipses (Chand garahn) and two solar eclipses (Suraj garahn). Eclipses are fascinating astronomical events that occur when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body.

Here’s are details on when these eclipses will occur in Pakistan!

1. Lunar Eclipses (Chand garahn):

– The first lunar eclipse of 2025 will occur on March 14. During this event, the Earth will position itself between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth’s shadow to fall on the Moon. This will result in a partial lunar eclipse, where only a portion of the Moon will be obscured. The eclipse will be visible from Pakistan, allowing observers to witness the Moon taking on a reddish hue, often referred to as a “blood moon.”

– The second lunar eclipse will take place on September 7. This will also be a partial lunar eclipse and will be visible in the night sky across Pakistan. Similar to the first, the Earth’s shadow will cover part of the Moon, creating a striking visual effect.

2. Solar Eclipses (Suraj garahn):

– The first solar eclipse will occur on April 30. This will be an annular solar eclipse, where the Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a ring-like appearance known as the “ring of fire.” In Pakistan, this eclipse will be visible as a partial solar eclipse, where only part of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon. Observers should take precautions, such as using solar viewing glasses, to safely watch this event.

– The second solar eclipse will take place on October 14. This will also be an annular solar eclipse, and like the April event, it will be visible as a partial eclipse in Pakistan. The annular phase will be visible in certain regions, but the partial eclipse will be an exciting sight for many across the country.

These eclipses present a wonderful opportunity for both amateur and seasoned astronomers, as well as anyone interested in astronomy, to observe and learn more about these celestial events. It’s important to keep track of the exact timings and conditions for viewing in Lahore and other parts of Pakistan to ensure a great experience during these astronomical phenomena.
