It is very rare. English said the solar eclipse should be seen very well in this area. It will look like the moon took a bite out of the sun. There will be more than half left of the sun that you can see. English encourages people to view the eclipse carefully because looking at an eclipse incorrectly can cause blindness and other eye problems.
Partial eclipses are dangerous because the uneclipsed part of the sun is still very bright.
It will end shortly after 2 p.m. The Earth's shadow creates the different phases of the moon. A new moon phase occurs when the dark side of the moon is facing the Earth because it is passing between the Earth and the sun. Because the moon's orbit around Earth is tilted, its shadow usually does not hit Earth during a new moon. But, at least twice a year, the moon lines up with the sun and the moon's shadow falls on Earth and an eclipse of the sun is seen from that region.
