A partial solar eclipse will be visible on Wednesday for observers in the northern United States and Canada, provided weather conditions are clear. NASA estimates the Moon will cover between 3% and 53% of the Sun’s disc, depending on the location.
In Alaska, Anchorage will experience 28% coverage, with the eclipse beginning at 7:36 a.m. local time and peaking at 8:21 a.m. In the northeastern U.S., Bangor, Maine will see 24% coverage, while Detroit will have only 3% coverage. Montreal, Quebec, will receive 18% coverage, and New York City 9%. Other cities with partial coverage include Philadelphia (7%), Toronto (8%), Washington, D.C. (4%), and Winnipeg (5%). St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, will see the greatest coverage at 53%.
The eclipse will begin near the North Pole and move southward across Greenland, Iceland, Spain and a portion of Portugal, where a brief period of totality is expected. This will be Europe’s first total solar eclipse since 1999.
Officials remind the public to use certified eclipse glasses to protect their eyes while viewing the event.
