March 29 Partial Solar Eclipse to Showcase Rare 'Double Sunrise' Effect

Northeastern North America will see up to 94% Sun coverage, with safety measures emphasized for observers.

The Sun, Moon, and Earth will not be perfectly aligned because of the partial eclipse. As a result, only a portion of the Sun will be hidden, creating the appearance that something has been taken away from it.
Although the eclipse this year won't cover as much land as the one in 2024, it should still be seen in a number of northeastern US states.
Early risers in the northeastern United States will see something special on March 29.
The eclipse will be visible in 13 US states on March 29, 2025.
