When is the Partial Solar Eclipse?

In the United States, the partial solar eclipse will begin early Saturday morning, around 4:50 a.m. EDT, and end just before 8:43 a.m., according to the Time and Date website.

However, the eclipse will be visible and peak in some areas of the U.S., so it will be at different times.

In which parts of New York the solar eclipse will be visible?

This year's eclipse won't cover as much ground as the one from 2024, but the northeastern region of the US should still have a view of the partial solar eclipse.

According to USA Today, the NASA provided a list where the moo's shadow will reach, along with viewing times. Here's the major cities who will attend the partial solar eclipse.

• Buffalo, New York: 7:02 a.m. to 7:09 a.m. EDT
• New York City: 6:44 a.m. to 7:04 a.m. EDT

For more information, NASA released a map showing where the partial solar eclipse can be seen around the world.

What is a partial solar eclipse?

A partial solar eclipse happens when the moon moves between the sun and Earth, but the three are not perfectly aligned. This causes only a part of the sun to be obscured, resulting in a crescent shape.

When is the next solar eclipse?

The next partial solar eclipse will occur on Sept. 21, but it will only be visible in the South Pacific, New Zealand and parts of Antarctica.
