People across Türkiye observed today's (October 25) partial solar eclipse.

With about 40 percent of the solar disc covered by the lunar disc, there was no significant change in the brightness of the sky or the temperature.

Even so, people tried to view the phenomenon with sunglasses, negative films, smoked glasses, and, in some cases, specifically designed glasses.

Also, schools and universities held events to observe the eclipse, and some of them broadcast it live on social media.

The natural phenomenon was visible between 12.39 p.m. and 3.08 p.m.
