Lunar Eclipses in 2025
The first lunar eclipse is set to occur on March 14, 2025, starting at 8:57 AM. However, since this event will take place during daylight hours, it will not be visible in Pakistan.

The first solar eclipse of the year is scheduled for March 29, 2025, but it will not be visible from Pakistan.
Similarly, the second solar eclipse, expected to occur between September 21 and 22, 2025, will also be invisible to viewers in the country.
Astronomical Highlights
The eclipses of 2025 offer diverse opportunities for stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts, especially the penumbral lunar eclipse in September, which will be observable across Pakistan.
Astronomy experts encourage residents to mark their calendars and prepare for this rare lunar event, as it promises to be the highlight of the year’s celestial occurrences.
