The mesmerizing image of a crescent moon-shaped solar eclipse appearing in broad daylight will unfold before the eyes of people in Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa.
According to Space, on October 25, citizens in many countries around the world will witness the spectacular sight of the last partial solar eclipse of 2022. The eclipse is expected to begin over the Atlantic Ocean at 8:58 AM GMT, which is 3:58 PM Vietnam time.

According to Time and Date, approximately 3.2 billion people, or 40% of the world’s population living in the region where the partial eclipse can be observed, will be in an area stretching from Greenland, the UK, and Spain in the West to Russia, Pakistan, and India in the East, covering Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa.
This means that Vietnam is unfortunately not located in the area to view the eclipse, however, you can still watch it online as invited by Space, where the eclipse will be live-streamed on their website space.com.

During this eclipse, the Sun will be partially “eaten” by the Moon, creating a shape resembling a mesmerizing crescent moon, shining brightly in the somewhat darkened daytime sky.
The best viewing areas are Russia and Kazakhstan, with 80% of the Sun being obscured.
Weather forecasts indicate that people in most of the Middle East, Pakistan, India, Eastern Kazakhstan, and the Novosibirsk and Altai regions of Russia will have favorable conditions to observe this “crescent moon-shaped” eclipse, thanks to clear skies. Of course, observers will need special glasses to protect their eyes from the Sun’s intense radiation.
