A partial solar eclipse is visible in New England today, with the best viewing spot at Acadia National Park in Maine. The eclipse will be partial, with about 16% coverage in Boston and near 30% in Maine.
Viewing Times and Tips
The eclipse will start around 1 p.m. and peak about 55 minutes later, ending around 2:45 p.m. It’s essential to use solar glasses or a makeshift viewer to safely view the eclipse, as looking directly at the sun can be harmful.
While the eclipse won’t be as spectacular as the total solar eclipse in 2024, it’s still a rare and exciting event. The next total solar eclipse visible in the United States won’t be until 2045.
