Just have a look at the image above, taken by Josh Cripps back in 2019. Do not attempt to observe the partial or annular phases of any eclipse with the naked eye.Annular solar eclipses give us the chance to capture incredible photos. ![]() Even when 99% of the Sun’s surface is obscured during the partial phases of a total eclipse, the remaining photospheric crescent is intensely bright and cannot be viewed safely without eye protection. Partial eclipses, annular eclipses, and the partial phases of total eclipses are never safe to watch without taking special precautions. “The Sun can be viewed safely with the naked eye only during the few brief seconds or minutes of a total solar eclipse. If you see any dots of light through the viewer film, throw those glasses out!ĭo NOT look at the sun through sunglasses, even multiple sets of sunglasses, or photo negatives, Compact Discs, or anything other than certified eclipse viewing equipment! Pinhole and other projection techniques can be used safely since the viewer is looking at a projection and not the sun itself. If you have eclipse glasses from a recent solar eclipse, those should be just fine - just make sure there are no pinholes or other damage to the plastic film “lenses”! You can check for damage by holding the eclipse viewer at arm’s length and looking at a bright lightbulb. How can you watch the eclipse? With great care!

With great care! ![]() Much of the solar disk will be visible but the curved edge of Moon will take a bite out of one side. What we may see at dawn and diminishing thereafter, is a partial solar eclipse - looking a bit like the chomping character from the classic PAC-MAN video game. An annular eclipse takes place when Moon is at higher points in its orbit when it passes between Earth and Sun, too distant and small to form a perfect cover, allowing a brilliant ring of our star to shine. The eclipse ends at 6:35 AM as Moon completes its passage across Sun.Ī total eclipse of the sun takes place when Earth’s Moon, at normal orbital distances, covers the solar disk completely and blocks all but the glowing corona from view. In our area, sunrise will be at 5:55 AM (EDT) with the eclipse already at its maximum for us. In fact, no place in the United States will see the complete circle, or annulus, of Sun around Moon. Unfortunately, even with clear skies we will not see the “ring of fire” that is the namesake look of this type of eclipse.
