The Partial solar eclipse will be visible at sunrise today: Here's how to watch it
Today's the day: A solar eclipse will darken the skies in the northeastern US and Canada in the early hours of Saturday. Unlike the Great American Eclipse of 2024 , however, this will not be a total eclipse. Instead, this event will be a partial eclipse visible in parts of the northern hemisphere. While this one will lack the dramatic otality of the 2024 event, a partial eclipse is still worth seeing. The sun will not be fully obscured, but with proper eye protection, you will be able to see the moon take a bite out of the sun. And there's a catch, but it's also an opportunity: This eclipse will occur at sunrise in North America, meaning the sun will just barely be above the horizon. But that timing offers viewers the chance to see the famed devil horns a crescent of solar light emerging from behind the moon. When can you watch this partial solar eclipse, and those devil horns? Lets talk about how to safely watch this eclipse. What areas will experience the partial solar eclipse, and when? The partial solar eclipse will be visible in areas of the northern hemisphere. It will be visible at sunrise in eastern North America and sunset in Siberia, Russia on Saturday, March 29. In Europe, it can be viewed around mid-morning. But the events footprint will be limited: No eclipse will be visible west of Toronto, Canada, and Washington, DC in North America. NASA This global map of the partial solar eclipse from NASA is more than a little confusing, but heres how to read it. The yellow curve is the path of the partial solar eclipse, moving from west to east. The lighter colored yellow curves give the percent obscuration of the sun. (In other words, how much of the sun is covered by the moon depends on where you are and when youre looking.) Most of Europe will only see around a 20 percent obscuration (with the exception of Greenland and Iceland), for example, while the extreme northeastern part of the United States will see up to 89 percent of the sun covered. The Nunavik region of Quebec will see maximum obscuration of 94 percent. The green lines on the map show the eclipses progress over time. Times are given in UTC, which is four hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. However, sunrise and sunset makes things more complicated. This is depicted on the map by the orange loop. The left side of the loop (over the Great Lakes in the United States) shows where the eclipse ends at sunrise. Therefore, the eclipse is not visible west of that orange line. The right side of the loop is where the eclipse begins at sunrise. That means to see the maximum partial solar eclipse at sunrise, its best to be along that blue line running down the middle of the orange loop. (Its worth noting that the eclipse will also be visible across a narrow part of Siberia, but at sunset rather than sunrise thats what the other half of the orange loop depicts). If it seems incredibly confusing, thats because it is indeed incredibly confusing. Some places with maximum obscuration will have a shorter eclipse duration because the partial eclipse will start before sunrise. The sun will also be low to the horizon in North America, so any viewing location will need to be above tall trees with a clear view of sunrise. In Europe, the viewing locations will be easier because the sun will be higher in the sky but the sun will not be as obscured. For example, in Bar Harbor, Maine, the sun will rise at 6:19AM, and the maximum eclipse will be at 6:22AM, with 80 percent of the sun obscured. The partial eclipse will end at 7:11 am. Technically though, the eclipse will begin at 5:26 am ET, but because that's before sunrise, Mainers will be cheated out of about half their potential eclipse viewing time. Moving south, the best view will be through coastal New England, then down through Boston, New York City and Philadelphia.The path basically ends in Washington, DC, where just 1.2 percent of the sun will be obscured at 6:59AM ET. NASA According to Time and Date , only 44,800 people will see a 90 percent partial eclipse, while 3,820,000 will see an 80 percent. Thats a far cry from the 30 million people in the path of totality for the 2024 total solar eclipse. Will a total solar eclipse be visible in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? No, there is nowhere on Earth that a total solar eclipse will be visible for this event. For any solar eclipse to happen, the sun, the moon and the Earth need to line up. However, because the moon doesnt orbit in the same plane as the sun and the Earth, eclipses are rare. A partial solar eclipse, like the one occurring on March 29, occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, but its not perfectly lined up. As a result, the sun will have a crescent shape as if the moon took a bite out of the sun but it will never be fully obscured as it is during a total eclipse. How long will the partial eclipse last? The visible duration of the eclipse depends on where you are, and what time sunrise (or sunset) is at your location. But globally, the eclipse will begin at 4:50 am ET (8:50AM UTC). The maximum eclipse will occur at 6:47AM ET (10:47AM UTC), and the event will end at 8:43AM ET (12:43PM UTC). Keep in mind, though, that this doesnt mean the entire partial eclipse will be almost four hours long in any given location because this is just for the extreme edges of the event. Whats the weather forecast along the viewing line? Its spring across the Northern Hemisphere, which generally means unfavorable weather for any sky viewing. The Weather Channels senior digital meteorologist Chris Dolce said that cloud cover, and even rain and snow, may be likely in the northeastern United States during the eclipse, so its not great news there, unfortunately. If its just a partial eclipse, do I need eye protection? Anything that involves looking at the sun, even just 5 or 10 percent of the sun, requires eye protection. The sun can damage your retinas quickly, painlessly and often irreversibly. If you have solar viewers left from the 2024 eclipse, and they are undamaged, theyll work just fine for this one too. According to the American Astronomical Society (AAS), modern eclipse glasses do not expire. Its worth checking them out thoroughly, though, making sure there are no rips, tears or scratches across the lenses and that the filters and lenses are still attached to the frame. Solar eclipse glasses can be difficult to purchase at the last minute, so its always good to keep them around. However, if you donated or trashed your previous pair (or didnt buy them in the first place), you can buy them online with some caution. Make sure any solar viewers conform to the ISO 12312-2:2015(E) international safety standard, and check the manufacturer against this list of brands from the AAS . Counterfeit eclipse glasses were rampant leading up the 2024 eclipse. Celestron is a reliable manufacturer of solar viewer equipment, and the companys eclipse glasses are readily available on Amazon for a low price (though at this point, you'll be stocking up for the next eclipses , most of which are better viewed from the southern hemisphere). What are some cool things to look out for during this eclipse? A unique feature of solar eclipses during sunrise is you may be able to see the famed devil horns, depending on where you are. When the sun rises during an eclipse (and therefore the sun is low on the horizon), as the crescent sun rises, it can look like devil horns coming up out of the ground. An earlier sunrise partial eclipse over Rice Lake, Ontario shows the devil horns phenomenon. John Fader via Getty Images Its best to target Maine, New Brunswick, and Quebec (along the blue line in the NASA map ) to see this phenomenon. Additionally, the sun is currently at or near solar maximum, which means that our star is basically at the peak of its 11-year solar cycle. Scientists determined that the sun hit the highest level of solar activity in October 2024, and this will continue for a year or so. This means that there may be sunspots visible on the surface of the sun when the eclipse hits. (For context, heres what the sun looks like right now , courtesy of NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory.) If you have solar binoculars or a solar telescope, this will make them much easier to see. Can I just point a telescope or camera at the sun? If youre asking yourself this question, you probably already know the answer: Nope! Not without a solar filter. Whether its a phone camera, binoculars, a telescope or a mirrorless camera, the sun can do extreme damage to this kind of equipment. (On Apollo 12, astronaut Alan Bean accidentally pointed a television camera at the sun, irreparably damaging it . Dont do this!) You can pick up solar filters at a camera store or online, or in a pinch, you can just use an extra pair of solar viewers. Simply remove the film and tape it over your smartphone camera, but dont look at the sun when aiming the camera unless youre wearing solar viewers as well. If you are interested in looking at the sun regularly, a pair of solar binoculars with a permanently attached filter is a great idea.

Sangita Kalanidhi, Nritya Kalanidhi announced
Art and culture have always been the soul of society. Music and dance, in particular, serve as powerful forms of expression, preserving the essence of our heritage while constantly evolving. Every year, the Music Academy of Madras honours the finest artistes who have dedicated their lives to these traditions, shaping the cultural landscape of the country. The 2025 awards, announced on Sunday, recognise unique talent in Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam. This years Sangita Kalanidhi, the highest honour in Carnatic music, has been conferred upon RK Shriramkumar, a violinist whose artistry has graced the stage for decades. Hailing from the Rudrapatnam lineage, Shriramkumar was trained under his grandfather, RK Venkatarama Sastry, and later by Sangita Kalanidhi DK Jayaraman. His understanding of the Sangita Sampradaya Pradarsini has cemented his reputation as an authority on Muthuswami Dikshitars compositions. His ability to accompany legendary musicians such as Semmangudi R Srinivasa Iyer and MS Subbulakshmi, alongside his dedication to training future generations, makes him a fitting choice for this award especially in the year marking Muthuswami Dikshitars 250th birth anniversary. It is an overwhelming feeling and a feeling of great honour to be chosen to receive this prestigious award. It is a great blessing for me to receive the award in the 250th birth anniversary year of Sri Muttusvami Dikshitar. It is all due to the blessings of all my Gurus who have moulded me and guided me in my musical path, he says. The Sangita Kala Acharya award, given to distinguished gurus, honours Shyamala, Venkateswaran, a vocalist recognised early by the Music Academy, and Thanjavur R Govindarajan, one of the senior-most Tavil artistes, who has shaped the Nagaswaram-Tavil tradition for over 60 years. The TTK Award has been bestowed upon Madambi Subramania Namboothiri, a stalwart of Kathakali music, and JT Jeyaraaj Krishnan and Jaysri Jeyaraaj Krishnan, a veena duo deeply rooted in Muthuswami Dikshitars lineage. Namboothiri, a respected guru and performer, has spent over three decades at Kerala Kalamandalam, upholding the traditional idiom of Kathakali music. The Jeyaraaj Krishnans, both A-Top artistes at AIR, are celebrated for their commitment to their pathanthara, keeping their style pure and authentic. Urmila Sathyanarayana has been chosen for the Nritya Kalandhi In recognition of scholarly contributions to music, the Musicologist Award has been awarded to Professor CA Sridhara, an associate professor at the University College of Fine Arts for Women, whose research has expanded the academic understanding of Carnatic traditions. On the dance front, the Nritya Kalanidhi title has been conferred upon Urmila Satyanarayana, a Bharatanatyam exponent who has not only enthralled audiences but also nurtured many disciples through her dance school, Natya Sankalpaa. Urmila shares, I feel very joyous and extremely grateful. Its unbelievable, overwhelming. This is a recognition of not just my journey, but the efforts of my gurus, my students, my colleagues, and my family. Reflecting on challenges in a dancers career, she advised young artistes, The most important thing is to have faith in what youre doing. There will be highs and lows, but holding on with positivity and grit through the difficult times is key. There will be light at the end of the tunnel. For Urmila, the award is a collective achievement. I owe it to my gurus, my students, my co-musicians, my faculty who have supported me for over 25 years. A dancer cannot perform without music, without the stage, without the team behind the scenes. This award belongs to all of them. The Sangita Kalanidhi awardee will preside over the academic sessions of the 99th Annual Conference and Concerts of the Music Academy from December 15, 2025, to January 1, 2026, receiving the award on the final day at the 'Sadas'. The Nritya Kalanidhi awardee will be honoured at the inauguration of the 19th Annual Dance Festival on January 3, 2026.
