Partial Solar Eclipse Set to Dazzle Northeastern Canada and U.S. on Saturday

Observers in northeastern North America will witness rare visual phenomena, including a 'double sunrise,' as the moon partially obscures the sun.

  • The partial solar eclipse will occur on Saturday, March 29, 2025, beginning at 8:50 UTC and ending at 12:43 UTC, with the greatest eclipse visible in northeastern Canada at 10:47 UTC.
  • Up to 93% of the sun will be obscured in parts of northeastern Canada, while Maine will see 80% coverage and New York around 30%.
  • Rare phenomena like the 'double sunrise,' where the sun appears to rise with two separate horns, will be visible in select locations such as eastern Maine and parts of Quebec and New Brunswick.
  • Safety precautions, including certified eclipse glasses, are essential for viewing, as the sun will not be fully obscured at any point during the event.
  • Weather forecasts indicate mixed visibility, with clear skies expected in some areas but potential cloud cover and snow in others, especially in parts of Canada and the northeastern U.S.
