Rare Partial Solar Eclipse with 'Devil's Horns' to Dazzle Skywatchers on March 29

The celestial event will feature dramatic phenomena like the ‘double sunrise’ and is best viewed from northeastern Maine and Nunavik, Quebec, though weather conditions may challenge visibility.

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.

Overview

  • The partial solar eclipse will occur on March 29, 2025, starting at 4:50 a.m. EDT and ending at 8:43 a.m. EDT, with visibility varying by location.
  • Northeastern Maine and Nunavik, Quebec, will offer the most striking views, with up to 83% and 94% of the Sun obscured, respectively.
  • The eclipse will produce rare visual effects, including the ‘double sunrise’ and ‘devil’s horns,’ visible at sunrise in select locations.
  • Observers are strongly advised to use proper eye protection, as the Sun will never be fully obscured and viewing without safety measures can cause eye damage.
  • Cloud cover and potential precipitation in the northeastern U.S. may hinder visibility, though live-streaming options will be available for global audiences.
