Tomorrow – Saturday, March 29 – A solar eclipse will obscure the heavens. However, unlike the “great American eclipse” of 2024, this will not be a total eclipse; On the other hand, a partial eclipse will be visible in the early morning in parts of the northern hemisphere.
While this time will lack the dramatic “totality” of the 2024 event, it is still worth seeing a partial eclipse. The sun will not be completely obscured, but with adequate eye protection, you can see that the moon will bite the sun. And there is a trap, but it is also an opportunity: this eclipse will occur at dawn in North America, which means that the sun will barely be above the horizon. But that time offers viewers the opportunity to see the famous “Horns of the Devil”, a Crescent of sunlight emerging from behind the moon.
When can you see this partial solar eclipse and those devil's horns? Let's talk about how to see this eclipse safely.
What areas will experience the partial solar eclipse and when?
The partial solar eclipse will be visible in areas of the northern hemisphere. It will be visible at dawn in eastern North America and at sunset in Siberia, Russia, on Saturday, March 29. In Europe, it can be seen in mid -tomorrow. But the footprint of the event will be limited: no eclipse will be seen west of Toronto, Canada and Washington, DC in North America.
This global map of NASA's partial solar eclipse is more than a bit confusing, but here is how to read it. The yellow curve is the path of the partial solar eclipse, which moves from west to east. The lighter colored yellow curves give the percentage of obscene of the sun. (In other words, how much the sun is covered by the moon depends on where you are and when you are looking).
Most Europe will only see about 20 percent obscene (with the exception of Greenland and Iceland), for example, while the extreme northeast of the United States will see up to 89 percent of the covered sun. The Quebec Nunavik region will see the maximum darkness of 94 percent. The green lines on the map show the progress of the eclipse over time. There are times in UTC, which is four hours ahead of the time of oriental day.
However, sunrise and sunset make things more complicated. This is represented on the map by the orange loop. The left side of the loop (on the big lakes in the United States) shows where the eclipse Finnish At dawn. Therefore, the eclipse is not visible west of that orange line. The right side of the loop is where the eclipse starts At dawn.
That means seeing the maximum partial solar eclipse at dawn, it is better to be along that blue line that runs through the orange loop. (It is worth noting that the eclipse will also be visible in a narrow part of Siberia, but at sunset instead of dawn, that is what the other half of the orange loop represents).
If it seems incredibly confusing, that is because it is incredibly confusing. Some places with the maximum obscene will have a shorter eclipse duration because the partial eclipse will begin before dawn. The sun will also be low to the horizon in North America, so any place of observation must be above the high trees with a clear view of the sunrise. In Europe, visualization locations will be easier because the sun will be higher in the sky, but the sun will not be so obscured.
For example, in Harbor Bar, Maine, the sun will rise at 6:19 am, and the maximum eclipse will be at 6:22 am, with 80 percent of the dark sun. The partial eclipse will end at 7:11 am. Technically, however, the eclipse will begin at 5:26 am et, but because that is before dawn, the main ones will be deceived of approximately half of its possible visualization time of the eclipse.
Moving south, the best view will be through the New England coast, then through Boston, New York City and Philadelphia. The road basically ends in Washington, DC, where only 1.2 percent of the sun will darken at 6:59 am et.
According Time and dateOnly 44,800 people will see a partial eclipse of 90 percent, while 3,820,000 will see 80 percent. That is far from the 30 million people on the way to the totality for the total solar eclipse 2024.
Is a total solar eclipse in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean visible?
No, there is nowhere on Earth that a total solar eclipse is visible to this event. To occur any solar eclipse, the sun, the moon and the earth need to align. However, because the moon does not orbit in the same plane as the sun and the earth, the eclipses are rare.
A partial solar eclipse, such as the one that occurs on March 29, occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, but is not perfectly aligned. As a result, the sun will have a crescent form, as if the moon bites the sun, but will never be completely obscured as it is during a total eclipse.
How long will the partial eclipse last?
The visible duration of the eclipse depends on where you are, and what time is dawn (or sunset) in its location. But worldwide, the eclipse will begin at 4:50 am et (8:50 am UTC). The maximum eclipse will occur at 6:47 am et (10:47 AM UTC), and the event will end at 8:43 am et (12:43 pm UTC). However, keep in mind that this does not mean that the entire partial eclipse will last almost four hours any given because this is only for the extreme edges of the event.
What is the weather forecast along the visualization line?
It is spring through the northern hemisphere, which generally means an unfavorable climate for any vision of heaven. The weather channel Senior digital meteorologist Chris Dolce He said that the cloud cover, and even rain and snow can be probable in the northeast of the United States during the eclipse, so it is not great news there, unfortunately.
If it's just a partial eclipse, do I need protection for the eyes?
Anything that implies looking at the sun, even only 5 or 10 percent of the sun, request Eye protection. The sun can damage its retinas quickly, without pain already irreversibly.
If you have solar viewers of eclipse 2024, and are not damaged, they will also work well for this. According to the American Astronomical Society (AAS), modern eclipse glasses do not expire. However, it is worth seeing them thoroughly, making sure that there are no tangrans, tears or scratches in the lenses and that filters and lenses are still united to the frame.
Eclipse solar glasses can be difficult to buy at the last minute, so it is always good to keep them close. However, if he donated or destroyed his previous couple (or did not buy them first), he can buy them online, with some caution. Make sure any solar spectator adjusts to the international security standard ISO 12312-2: 2015 (E) and verify the manufacturer with this AAS brands list. The falsified eclipse glasses were rampant before eclipse 2024.

What are some interesting things to take into account during this eclipse?
A unique feature of solar eclipses during dawn is that you can see the famous “horns of the devil”, depending on where you are. When the sun rises during an eclipse (and therefore, the sun is low on the horizon), as the growing sun rises, it may seem horns of the devil that come out of the ground.
It is better to point to Maine, New Brunswick and Quebec (throughout the Blue line on the NASA map) To see this phenomenon.
In addition, the Sun is currently in or near the Máxima Solar, which means that our star is basically in the peak of its solar cycle of 11 years. The scientists determined that the sun reached the highest level of solar activity in October 2024, and this will continue for a year or so. This means that there may be visible sun spots on the surface of the sun when the eclipse hits. (For context, this is what the sun It seems that right nowCourtesy of the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory). If you have solar binoculars or a solar telescope, this will make them much easier to see.
Can I aim a telescope or camera in the sun?
If you are asking yourself this question, the answer is probably knowing: No! Not without a solar filter. Whether it is a telephone chamber, binoculars, a telescope or a mirror -free camera, the sun can cause extreme damage to this type of equipment. (In Apollo 12, astronaut Alan Bean accidentally pointed to a television camera in The Sun, damaging him irreparable. Don't do this!)
You can collect solar filters in a camera or online store, or in trouble, you can use an extra pair of solar spectators. Simply remove the movie and tape with adhesive tape on the camera of your smartphone, but do not look at the sun when aiming at the camera unless you also use solar spectators. If you are interested in looking at the sun regularly, a<a target="_blank" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=74f48106-f3a7-439e-9056-a3a8ff613e56&featureId=text-link&merchantName=amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0NlbGVzdHJvbi1FY2xpcFNtYXJ0LUFtZXJpY2FuLUJpbm9jdWxhci03MTIzOC9kcC9CMDFNOEo2VVRGL3JlZj1zcl8xXzQ_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNzRmNDgxMDYtZjNhNy00MzllLTkwNTYtYTNhOGZmNjEzZTU2Iiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0NlbGVzdHJvbi1FY2xpcFNtYXJ0LUFtZXJpY2FuLUJpbm9jdWxhci03MTIzOC9kcC9CMDFNOEo2VVRGL3JlZj1zcl8xXzQiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&signature=AQAAASQgyQnyrX-Q_tj50WGyS8NwqRtv5zS-SlyYvWd6KN8S&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FCelestron-EclipSmart-American-Binocular-71238%2Fdp%2FB01M8J6UTF%2Fref%3Dsr_1_4″ class=”rapid-with-clickid”> pair of solar binoculars with a permanently attached filter It is a great idea.
