About Lunatrack

Lunatrack shows you tonight's moon for where you are: its phase and how much of it is lit, when it rises and sets, which sign it is in, the next full moon and the best time to look up.

The numbers come from an astronomical data service for your exact coordinates; eclipses are computed in your browser with the open-source Astronomy Engine. Your location never leaves this site's own server.

Eclipses in 2025 — visibility from the Netherlands

There are 4 eclipses in 2025 (2 lunar, 2 solar). Summary and Netherlands-specific visibility below. EclipseWise Time and Date

1) Total lunar eclipse — 13–14 March 2025
⁠
⁠Global event: Total lunar eclipse (13–14 Mar 2025). EclipseWise

Netherlands (Amsterdam) visibility: You could see the beginning phases before moonset — the eclipse was visible in the Netherlands at moonset (penumbral and the early partial phases), but the Moon set before the central totality and the greatest phase was below the horizon for Amsterdam.

Local times (Amsterdam):

  • Penumbral begins: Mar 14, 2025 — 04:57 (visible).
  • Partial begins (U1): ~06:09 (very low on horizon / visible).
  • Totality begins: ~07:25 (NOT visible from Amsterdam — Moon already below the horizon for the deeper phases).
  • Greatest eclipse (UTC 06:58) corresponds to 07:58 CET (not fully visible from Amsterdam).

(Detailed local timetable available from TheSkyLive/TimeandDate). TheSkyLive Time and Date

2) Partial solar eclipse — 29 March 2025

Global event: Partial solar eclipse (Mar 29, 2025). EclipseWise

  • Netherlands visibility: YES — visible as a partial solar eclipse across the Netherlands.
  • Local times (example: Amsterdam): approximate local timings reported: start ≈ 11:12 CET, maximum ≈ 12:10 CET, end ≈ 13:07 CET (maximum coverage in Amsterdam ~25% of the Sun). Use proper solar filters/eclipse glasses for safe viewing. Time and Date TheSkyLive

3) Total lunar eclipse — 7–8 September 2025

Global event: Total lunar eclipse (7–8 Sep 2025) — one of the longest total eclipses of 2025. Time and Date

Netherlands (Amsterdam) visibility: YES — the Moon rises while the eclipse is already in progress, so observers in the Netherlands will see the ending part of totality and the remainder of the event after moonrise. In other words, you’ll see the Moon already eclipsed when it rises and then watch totality end and the partial phases finish. TheSkyLive

Local times (Amsterdam) — key contacts (local):

  • Penumbral begins (P1): Sep 7, 2025 — 17:28:06 (not visible)
  • Partial begins (U1): 18:26:51 (not visible)
  • Totality begins (U2): 19:30:36 (not visible)
  • Greatest eclipse: 20:11:46 CEST (Moon rising; check local horizon)
  • Totality ends (U3): 20:53:18 CEST — visible (Moon altitude becomes positive around this time).
  • Partial ends: 21:56:53 CEST (visible).
  • Penumbral ends: 22:55:27 CEST (visible).

4) Partial solar eclipse — 21 September 2025

  • Global event: Partial solar eclipse (21 Sep 2025). EclipseWise
  • Netherlands visibility: No — not visible from the Netherlands. This eclipse’s visibility is mainly over the South Pacific / New Zealand / Antarctica. (Several eclipse trackers mark it as not visible from Europe). Time and Date TheSkyLive
