A rare solar eclipse will take place on Saturday, March 29, with eastern Canada, northeastern U.S., Europe, and Africa in its path. The event will feature a deep partial eclipse, with Canada seeing up to 94% of the sun blocked by the moon at its peak, while the U.S. will experience up to 85%.
The eclipse will begin as a sunrise event in Canada and the U.S., gradually moving eastward across North America before setting in northern Russia. Viewers in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Quebec will witness rare “devil’s horns” formations on the horizon.
While cities like New York and Boston will see a partial eclipse, the Nunavik region of Quebec will experience the maximum 94% blockage at sunrise. In Europe, London, Paris, and Berlin will see a slight eclipse in mid-morning, with parts of northwest Africa also affected.
To safely watch the solar eclipse, it’s essential to use proper eye protection and solar filters on telescopes or binoculars. The American Astronomical Society recommends using ISO 12312-2 compliant eclipse glasses or pinhole projectors as safe alternatives.
This event marks a repeat performance similar to June 10, 2021’s annular solar eclipse in northeast U.S. states. A total solar eclipse will be visible in North America on August 12, 2026, and another significant eclipse is expected in 2045.
