Rare Partial Solar Eclipse with 'Double Sunrise' Effect to Dazzle on March 29

Skywatchers in northeastern North America and eastern Canada will experience up to 94% sun obscuration and a unique celestial phenomenon at sunrise.

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.
The eclipse will be visible in 13 US states on March 29, 2025.
