Will NYC Actually See Tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse? What to Know
NASA says the Moon will cover only part of the Sun, and viewers in North America will need certified eclipse glasses, officials said.
- On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, a partial solar eclipse will sweep across North America as the moon passes between Earth and the sun, temporarily blocking part of the solar disk.
- While six countries across Europe and Africa will experience total solar eclipse, North American viewers will witness only a partial event, as the moon never completely covers the sun from the continent.
- NASA warns that looking directly at the sun without proper protection is unsafe, requiring certified solar glasses complying with ISO 12312-2 standard. If glasses are unavailable, use an indirect pinhole projector.
- Visibility extends across 26 states and Washington, D.C., with viewing times varying by location—Alaska and northern Canada will see the eclipse in morning hours, while eastern Canada experiences it in afternoon.
- The next total solar eclipse across the United States will not occur until August 2045, making today's partial event a rare opportunity for skywatchers before the Perseids meteor display later this month.
