A partial solar eclipse will occur on March 29, 2025, and will be visible from parts of the Northern Hemisphere, including North America. The event will be best seen in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, where viewers may witness an eclipsed sunrise.

It’s on Saturday, Mar. 29, 2025, but exactly where you are on Earth will determine whether you can see any of the sun disappear behind the moon during a partial solar eclipse . While not as big a deal as the total solar eclipse on Apr. 8, 2024, across North America , the event will arguably be best seen from the continent.It's when the moon moves in front of the sun, blocking some of it from view, but at no point covers the entire disk.
However, Mar. 29's event will see up to 94% of the sun covered, which makes it a very deep partial that many eclipse-chasers buoyed by the event of Apr. 8, 2024, will want to use their eclipse glasses to see. Eclipse glasses will be essential at all times for the event.Throughout a couple of hours, the new moon — which will be completely invisible — approaches the sun and takes a bite out of it. That bite gets larger, peaks, and then the moon retreats, eventually leaving the sun’s disk whole again. The critical moment during a partial solar eclipse is typically at peak eclipse when the moon covers the biggest amount of the sun. However, for North Americans, the critical moment for this event will be to see an eclipsed sunrise. March's partial solar eclipse will be visible only from the Northern Hemisphere, including North America, Europe and northwest Africa. Although it will be seen from parts of North America, it won't be a continent-wide event. Only those in the northeast east of the U.S. will get a view, with those in the far northeast treated to an eclipse sunrise — a rare and beautiful spectacle. The best place for that will be New Brunswick and far north Quebec in Canada, but locations in the U.S. from Pennsylvania to Maine will see an eclipsed sunrise. However, going northeast will mean a deeper and longer eclipse
