World map of the solar eclipse of October 25, 2022

The solar eclipse of October 25, 2022 is a purely partial eclipse, so the earth is only hit by the penumbra of the moon. The eclipse begins near Iceland , the penumbra then moves southeastwards, whereby an eclipsed sun will be seen in almost all of Europe. North Africa is just about reached by the penumbra of the moon, in the north the day-night border of the beginning polar night limits the visibility area. The penumbra moves in the course of the darkness to the western part of Asia and just reaches India .

The maximum coverage can be seen in the Khanty and Mansi Autonomous Okrug, also known as Ugra, east of the Urals in the West Siberian lowlands , where a little more than 82% of the sun will be covered by the moon.
