2025 promises to be a spectacular year for stargazers with multiple celestial events. A six-planet parade visible for weeks will kick off the year in January, followed by a seven-planet lineup in February. March brings a total lunar eclipse over North and South America, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible from Maine and other locations in April. The year continues with more eclipses in September and a captivating display of the northern and southern lights.
