A partial solar eclipse is happening tomorrow morning (March 29), offering skywatchers a chance to see the moon partially cover the sun.

Globally, the eclipse begins at 4:50 a.m. EDT (0850 GMT), reaching maximum coverage at 6:47 a.m. EDT (1047 GMT). Exact visibility and timing depend on your location.

A partial solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, blocking a portion of the solar disk from view. It can look like the moon has taken a “bite” out of the sun.

What time is the partial solar eclipse?

The exact timing of the eclipse depends on your location. For those in eastern North America, it will occur around sunrise; for those across Europe, it will take place mid-morning.

Time of partial solar eclipse by country (in local time)

The best views of the solar eclipse whereby a majority of the sun will be obscured by the moon will be found in extreme eastern Canada and the northeastern U.S, where a crescent sun will rise dramatically over the horizon. Locations such as New Brunswick, northern Quebec, and Maine will experience an especially striking effect, with a pair of solar “horns” briefly appearing as the sun emerges.
