Partial Solar Eclipse to Grace Skies on March 29

The first solar eclipse visible in North America this year will feature rare effects like the 'double sunrise' and up to 93% sun coverage in northeastern regions.

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 and Greenland.
Observers in northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada will experience the most dramatic views, including the rare 'double sunrise' effect, where the sun appears as two separate crescents at dawn.
Up to 93% of the sun will be obscured in parts of Quebec and Maine, while other areas in North America, Europe, Africa, and northern Asia will see varying degrees of coverage.
Safety precautions, such as eclipse glasses or solar filters, are essential as the sun will not be fully covered at any point during the event.
Weather conditions may impact visibility, with forecasts suggesting mixed skies in northeastern regions; clear horizons are recommended for the best viewing experience.
