Saturday sees the first and riskiest solar eclipse of 2025
On June 10, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in North America, marking the beginning of a year filled with exciting celestial events. This unique phenomenon, also known as an “annular eclipse,” is only visible from certain regions around the world.
According to Timeanddate.com’s Eclipse Calculator, the event — during which the moon’s central shadow will slightly miss Earth — will be most pronounced in Akulivik, an Inuit village in Nunavik, northern Quebec, Canada. At sunrise, 93.8% of the sun’s disk will be covered by a new moon.
It is essential to note that since the sun will never be fully covered, eclipse glasses or solar filters are required at all times. Never use sunglasses and ensure photographers use solar filters as well. Certified safe suppliers can be found on the American Astronomical Society’s Suppliers of Safe Solar Filters & Viewers list.
For those in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada, this is a rare opportunity to witness a partially eclipsed sun rising. To do so, observers must choose a location with a low view of the eastern horizon, preferably along the coast, with sightlines to the sunrise.
