A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, with a magnitude of 0.8623.
The eclipse was visible from Europe, Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia and from Northeast Africa. The maximal phase of the partial eclipse occurred on the West Siberian Plain in Russia near Nizhnevartovsk, where more than 82% of the Sun was eclipsed by the Moon. In India, the Sun was eclipsed during sunset ranging from 58% in the north and around 2% in the south. From Western Europe it appeared to be around 15-30% eclipsed. It was visible between 08:58 UTC, the greatest point of eclipse occurred at 11:00 UTC and it ended at 13:02 UTC. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
The eclipse was featured in Dune: Part Two, directed by Denis Villenueve. The film was recorded in the Jordanian Desert.
During the eclipse, Femmes et Sciences partnered with the event "Eclipses: Women Scientists or the Hidden Face of History," organised at the Paris Observatory to launch the Hypatia Project for the Eiffel Tower. The project proposed completing the list of great scientists by adding the names of women scientists.

Eclipse season
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight.
