On Saturday, a partial solar eclipse will captivate skywatchers across the Northern Hemisphere, visible from eastern Canada to Siberia. Lasting about four hours, it will allow observers in Europe, northeast North America, and northwest Africa to witness the Moon partially covering the Sun. The eclipse won't be total anywhere on Earth, with up to 90 percent coverage in some areas. Safety precautions are emphasized, as looking directly at the Sun can cause serious eye damage. Observers are encouraged to use proper eclipse glasses to safely enjoy the event.
"The alignment is not perfect enough for the cone of shadow to touch the Earth's surface...there will not be a total eclipse anywhere on Earth."
"Because the Moon will cover around 90 percent of the Sun's disc at peak, the best view will be from northeastern Canada and Greenland."
