A partial solar eclipse will be visible at sunrise on March 29, but cloudy weather may obscure the view in many areas.
A partial solar eclipse will occur at sunrise on Saturday, March 29, with the maximum coverage of the sun by the moon reaching around 45% in the Burlington area and up to 50% in the Northeast Kingdom and northern New Hampshire. Unlike last year’s total solar eclipse, this event will only result in a slight dimming of the sun, and the eclipse will not be as noticeable due to its early timing near sunrise. The eclipse will begin at 6:38 a.m., reach its maximum at 6:41 a.m., and end by 7:11 a.m., but its visibility will depend on clear skies and an unobstructed view of the eastern horizon. Unfortunately, the forecast suggests cloudy weather and a wintry mix this weekend, making it less likely to see the eclipse. As always, it's crucial to use proper eye protection when observing the eclipse to avoid serious eye damage or blindness. via WCAX
