A dramatic partial solar eclipse, known as the 'Devil's Horns', will occur on a Saturday morning, providing unique visual effects as it partially obscures the sun. Viewers in the northeastern U.S. as far south as Washington, DC will witness the event, with New Yorkers seeing around 20% obscuration, while Maine and parts of Canada will see up to 93%. Recommended precautions include eye protection to prevent retinal damage during the viewing. The event will also be observed in several countries including Greenland and Spain.
At sunrise Saturday, a "deep partial" solar eclipse will blot out a large enough portion of the sun that horn-like arcs of light will give early birds the impression of Lucifer's horns.
Maine will be the best place to catch the partial eclipse, where residents are expected to experience an 85% eclipse from the northern vantage.
Experts warn that enthusiasts should wear eye protection while viewing the partial eclipse, as sun exposure can cause retinal damage.
The partial eclipse, also visible in Greenland, Iceland, and parts of Northern Africa, will feature horn-like arcs that signify deep partial eclipses.
