Last solar eclipse of 2022 will take place on October 25: it will be possible to see it in Armenia too

On Tuesday, the new moon will pass between the Sun and the Earth, which will result in a private solar eclipse -- the last one this year. It will be possible to observe the eclipse in Armenia.

According to Space.com, the solar eclipse will be visible from eastern Greenland and all of Iceland, as well as most of Europe (except Portugal and western and southern Spain), northeast Africa and most of western and central Asia. If you don't live in those regions, you will be able to watch the eclipse online.

In Armenia, the Moon will cover 55-57 percent of the solar disk during the eclipse peak. The eclipse will start at 13:52 Yerevan time and will peak at 15:11. According to preliminary forecasts, the weather is expected to be clear.

Looking at the eclipse through the telescope without a special protective filter is forbidden, otherwise you can get severe burns.

The highest phase of the eclipse - 86.2% - will be observed in the Russian cities of Nezhnevartovsk and Surgut.

In much of eastern Europe, western Russia, Finland and northern parts of Sweden and Norway, as well as Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir in India, the Moon will eclipse about 60% of the Sun.

In east-central Europe, including Denmark, Poland, Romania, the Balkans, and much of the Middle East and western India, the eclipse magnitude is reduced to 40-60%.

In Iceland, as well as much of Great Britain, Germany, eastern France, Italy, Greece, Egypt and southwestern India, the Moon will eclipse less than 40% of the Sun.

In western France, northeastern Spain, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia the eclipse will affect less than 20% of the Sun's diameter.

In Valencia, Spain, and Algeria, the edge of the Moon will only slightly cover the solar disk (and it will be impossible to see the eclipse in Madrid).

Portugal is the only European country that is outside the eclipse's line of sight.

Tomorrow's eclipse is the 124th of the saros series (this is the interval of time about 18.03 of the tropical year after which eclipses of the Moon and the Sun are approximately repeated in the same order). The eclipse of October 25 repeats through a saros the partial solar eclipse of October 14, 2004. The next eclipse of this saros is expected on November 4, 2040.

The total lunar eclipse will occur on November 8, which will be visible from North America, as well as from parts of South America, Central and East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
