What time is the last solar eclipse of 2022 on Oct. 25?

If you want to watch the eclipse online, you'll have to wake up early.

The partial solar eclipse of Oct. 25 is the second and final solar eclipse of 2022 and will be visible to observers across most of Europe, as well as parts of northeast Africa, the Middle East and western Asia. The eclipse begins at 4:58 a.m. EDT (0858 GMT) when the moon first begins to cross the sun as seen from the northern Atlantic Ocean. It will move east over the next four hours, ending at 9:01 a.m. EDT (1301 GMT) just south of India.

If you don't live in those parts of the Earth where the solar eclipse is visible, you do have options to watch it live online. The Royal Observatory Greenwich will host its livestream (opens in new tab) at 5:05 a.m. EDT (0905 GMT) with astronomers commentating on the event.  Astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project in Ceccano, Italy will also host a livestream (opens in new tab) at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT). Finally, if you really want to wake up early, you can join the TimeandDate.com webcast at 4:30 a.m. EDT (0830 GMT) to see the start of the eclipse.

Exactly how much of the sun will be eclipsed by the moon depends on your viewing location. At its peak, which occurs at about 11:10 a.m. EDT (1510 GMT), the sun will appear 82% covered by the moon to observers near the North Pole. For observers in Russia, about 80% of of the sun will be covered, while in China 70% of the sun will be blocked. Even less of the sun, about 62%, will appear blocked to observers in Finland.

A large swath of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and northern Africa are in the path of the solar eclipse. The path of maximum eclipse is shown in a yellow line on a map created by eclipse scientist Fred Espenak of EclipseWise.com

Depending on where you are, the start of the solar eclipse may be different.

An eclipse watcher in London can see the beginning of the eclipse at 10:00 a.m. The times of the eclipse will be different for each city. The eclipse starts in Berlin at 11:10 a.m. and ends at :19 p.m. In India, where the eclipse visibility path ends, the event will begin at 4:29 p.m., peak at 5:30 p.m.

Espenak has created a chart of eclipse times for 38 major cities. Espenak's chart can be found at the EclipseWise.com website, or you can check it out below. Each city has its own local time.

Don't worry if you don't see your city on Espenak's list. The Solar Eclipse Circumstances Calculator can be found on Eclipsewise.com. The start and stop times for the eclipse can be found there.

There are solar eclipses when the sun and moon are in alignment. A total solar eclipse occurs when the sun is completely obscured by the moon, but partial solar eclipses can occur when the sun is partially obscured. The moon and the sun don't align every month in order to create a solar eclipse.

Tuesday's solar eclipse is the last one in which the sun is completely obscured, but it is not the last eclipse in the world. Most of Asia, Australia, North America, South America and parts of northern and eastern Europe will be able to see a total lunar eclipse in November.

The next solar eclipse will take place on April 20,23, followed by another on October 14,23
