Residents across the UAE and other countries of the Arabian Peninsula will be able to witness the second — and last — partial solar eclipse of 2022 on October 25.
The eclipse is expected to be visible in parts of Europe, Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, depending on cloud cover.
A partial solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, temporarily blocking part of the sunlight.
This first partial solar eclipse of the year occurred at midnight between April 30 and May 1. However, the spectacle wasn't visible in the UAE or the Arabian Peninsula.
Ibrahim Al Jarwan, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomy Society, confirmed that the world will be able to see a solar eclipse next month.
"It is expected to start at 2.42pm and end at 4.54pm, UAE time Al Jarwan said.
The next solar eclipse will take place on April 20, 2023.
