The last solar eclipse of the year, which is a partial solar eclipse, began in New Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) at 4:29 pm IST on October 25.
In the north-western parts of India, the Moon will obscure approximately 40 to 50 per cent of the Sun at that time of maximum eclipse. The obscuration of the Sun will be less than 40 to 50 per cent in other regions of the country.
The partial solar eclipse will not be seen from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and some regions of Northeast India, including Aizawl, Dibrugarh, Imphal, Itanagar, Kohima, Sivasagar, Silchar, and Tamelong, among others, according to the Ministry of Earth Science.
For people living in Delhi, the Moon will appear to obscure 44 per cent of the Sun. Meanwhile, for people in Mumbai, the obscuration of the Sun by the Moon will be 24 per cent.
The duration of the eclipse for people living in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata will be one hour 13 minutes, one hour 19 minutes, 31 minutes, and 12 minutes, respectively.
The maximum eclipse phase is the one during which the eclipse reaches its maximum magnitude. During this phase, 0.6396 per cent of the Sun will be eclipsed. On October 25, the maximum eclipse will occur at around 4:30 pm IST, according to timeanddate.com.
People can watch the solar eclipse online on the official website of the Virtual Telescope Project. The eclipse will be streamed live from Rome, Italy.
One can also watch the livestream of the partial solar eclipse on the official YouTube channels of Royal Observatory Greenwich and timeanddate.com.

Here is how the last solar eclipse of the year appears through a pinhole camera.
The last solar eclipse of the year is underway in several regions of the world. The Royal Astronomical Society has shared pictures of how the solar eclipse appears when viewed through special devices.
The different types of solar eclipse are total, partial, annular and hybrid. A partial solar eclipse will begin in India at 4:14 pm IST on October 25.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth, or partially blocking the Sun's light in some areas, according to NASA.
During a partial solar eclipse, the Moon and the Sun are not perfectly aligned in a straight line. Therefore, the Moon does not completely cover the Sun. This gives the Sun a crescent shape. It appears as though the Moon has taken a bite of the Sun.
The Moon casts only the outer part of its shadow, called the penumbra, on Earth.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the New Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, and casts the darkest part of its shadow, called the umbra, on Earth.
The Moon entirely covers the Sun during a total solar eclipse, which is visible only in regions located in the path of the Moon's umbra.
Those outside the path see a partial eclipse, with the Moon blocking only a part of the Sun.
An annular solar eclipse is one in which the edge of the Sun remains visible as a bright ring around the Moon.
Another type of eclipse is a hybrid solar eclipse, also known as an annular-total eclipse, which can change from an annular to a total eclipse, or from a total to an annular eclipse, along the observer's path.
A solar eclipse usually occurs nearly two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse.
It is very important for people to protect their eyes during a solar eclipse. One must never look directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse, because even the slightest radiation can burn the eyes' retinas and cause permanent damage or even blindness.
People can wear protective eclipse glasses or project an image of the eclipsed Sun using a pinhole projector, to safely watch a solar eclipse.
It is safe to see the fully eclipsed Sun, or totality phase of the eclipse, with the naked eye. Cameras, telescopes, or binoculars without any special filters can also be used to view the totality phase.
One must not look at the Sun with naked eyes unless the Moon blocks the entire Sun.
The last solar eclipse of the year, which is a partial solar eclipse, will begin on October 25 at around 4:29 pm IST, for people living in New Delhi. It will begin at 4:14 pm IST for people living in Srinagar, and at 5:32 pm IST, for those living in Kanyakumari.
The maximum eclipse phase is the one during which the eclipse reaches its maximum magnitude. During this phase, 0.6396 per cent of the Sun will be eclipsed. On October 25, the maximum eclipse will occur at around 4:30 pm IST, according to timeanddate.com.

The last solar eclipse of the year, which is a partial solar eclipse, has begun in some regions of the world.
Here are some interesting facts about a partial solar eclipse:
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth, or partially blocking the Sun's light in some areas, according to NASA.
During a partial solar eclipse, the Moon and the Sun are not perfectly aligned in a straight line. Therefore, the Moon does not completely cover the Sun. This gives the Sun a crescent shape. It appears as though the Moon has taken a bite of the Sun.
The Moon casts only the outer part of its shadow, called the penumbra, on Earth.
A partial solar eclipse has three distinct phases, namely, the beginning of the partial solar eclipse, maximum eclipse phase, and end of the partial solar eclipse.
The partial solar eclipse begins when the Moon starts moving over the Sun's disk.
The maximum eclipse phase is the one during which the eclipse reaches its maximum magnitude because the Moon covers more of the Sun's disk than at any other moment during the eclipse.
The partial solar eclipse ends when the Moon stops covering the Sun.
According to earthsky.org, a partial solar eclipse occurs 4.7 days before the Moon reaches apogee, which is its farthest point from Earth. The Sun is in front of the constellation Aries, during a partial solar eclipse.
Solar eclipses occur two to five times a year, and can happen only during New Moon. This is because the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth during that phase.
However, not every New Moon results in a solar eclipse, according to timeanddate.com. This is because the plane of the Moon's orbital path around Earth is inclined at an angle of approximately 5° to the planet's orbital plane around the Sun, called the ecliptic. The points where the two orbital planes meet are called lunar nodes, and solar eclipses occur only when a New Moon takes place near a lunar node.
About 35 per cent of all solar eclipses are partial solar eclipses, which means that they occur more frequently than total or annular solar eclipses, according to timeanddate.com.
The partial eclipse was followed by a lunar eclipse on May 16, 2022. Both the eclipses occurred during the same eclipse season, which is an approximately 35-day period during which it is inevitable for at least two eclipses to take place. Sometimes, three eclipses can occur during the same season.
A total of two eclipses have occurred so far this year. These include one solar eclipse and one lunar eclipse.
The partial solar eclipse occurring on October 25 is the last solar eclipse of the year. The next solar eclipse will not be visible from India until August 2, 2027. Though this will be a total solar eclipse, it will appear like a partial solar eclipse to people in India.
The last solar eclipse of the year will be followed by a lunar eclipse on November 7 and 8. This will be the last eclipse of the year.
The last solar eclipse of the year, which is a partial solar eclipse, has begun in many parts of the world. It is a deep partial eclipse in some regions, according to timeanddate.com. This means that around 80 per cent of the face of the Sun will appear to be covered in some places, despite the fact that the Sun is not completely obscured by the Moon. A deep partial eclipse mostly occurs in uninhabited regions such as Siberia, Russia.
The last solar eclipse of the year will begin at around 4:29 pm IST for people living in New Delhi. The eclipse has already begin for some Indian cities, including Srinagar. Here are the timings of the solar eclipse for different Indian cities.
