Will India Witness Any Solar Eclipse in 2025?
No, India will not witness any solar eclipse in 2025. The partial solar eclipses occurring this year will not be visible from Indian skies. The next major eclipse visible from some parts of India is expected in the coming decade.
Internet Rumors: What’s the Truth?
In the weeks leading up to August 2, 2025, various fake news stories and videos went viral, claiming the world would go dark for 6 minutes due to a solar eclipse. These stories even claimed NASA confirmed it—which is entirely false.

What Is a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the Sun’s light. There are three main types:
- Total Solar Eclipse: The Sun is completely covered.
- Annular Solar Eclipse: The Moon covers the Sun’s center, leaving a “ring of fire.”
- Partial Solar Eclipse: Only part of the Sun is obscured.
