Spectacular ‘Solar Horns’ eclipse to grace the sky on March 29

On March 29, 2025, a rare celestial event will unfold as a partial solar eclipse casts “solar horns” at sunrise in select locations. This striking phenomenon occurs when the sun’s crescent, partially obscured by the moon, creates two bright points resembling horns on the horizon.

The breathtaking display will be visible only in specific areas with clear skies and an unobstructed eastern horizon. Coastal regions and elevated viewing points are ideal for capturing the spectacle.
