Happy Friday, Space Fans! Well, the day is nearly here: the first solar eclipse of 2025 is SATURDAY and we've got what you need to see it. The March 2025 solar eclipse will be a partial solar eclipse of the sun, but only for those in the visibility path across the U.S., Canada and Europe. Here's where and when to see the eclipse!
There is one rare sight that we're hoping some of your Space.com readers may see during the partial solar eclipse of March 29. It's a weird "double sunrise" effect visible from some locations in the U.S. state of Maine and the provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec in Canada. If you see it, let us know!
It may be too late to snag some skywatching gear for the partial eclipse on March 29, but it's never too early to prepare for the next one! Here, we've rounded up the best deals on the equipment you need to watch it in safety. The next solar eclipse will be on Sept. 21!
Are you wondering exactly what will happen during the partial solar eclipse of March 29? Well, we're glad you asked because we wondered, too. Here's what to expect during the event, which is different than during a total solar eclipse.
The solar eclipse this weekend may be great, but there's more to see in the sky than the moon biting the sun. Look up tonight to see the Winter Triangle (even though it's SPRING!) and then on see the slim crescent moon after sunset!
From solar eclipses to solar-powered cargo ships, we turn now to Northrop Grumman's next Cygnus resupply launch for NASA, which was due to launch to the International Space Station this spring. But an accident during its delivery to the Florida for launch has damaged the spacecraft. Here's what it means for the food supply on the ISS>
Dark energy is one of the enigmas of the universe. We cant see it, but all evidence points to its existence. Now, scientists suspect that some physics unknown humanity could help dark energy act as "antigravity" across the universe. Here's what they know.
Speaking of launches, SpaceX is gearing up for another historic human spaceflight, a private mission to send the first astronauts over Earth's poles on Fram2, a mission financed by Maltese cryptocurrency magnate Chun Wang. Here's who's riding aboard.
On March 28, 1963, NASA launched the first stage booster of its new Saturn 1 rocket on a fourth and final test flight. This uncrewed suborbital flight helped pave the way for astronauts to launch to the moon. After this initial test phase, NASA started launching test flights with a live second stage and boilerplate versions of the Apollo Command/Service Module. See how it happened in our "On This Day in Space" video series!
