What to expect in Pennsylvania during Saturday's Annular Solar Eclipse

A partial eclipse will be visible across much of the Northeast for this weekend's event. However, clouds and rain could dampen viewing conditions.PENNSYLVANIA, USA — An annular solar eclipse will take place across North, Central, and South America this Saturday with part of the eclipse viewable here in Pennsylvania.

In the United States, the path of totality will span from Oregon through Texas. Here in Pennsylvania, only about 30% of the sun will be eclipsed. In Harrisburg, the partial eclipse will begin at noon with the maximum eclipse taking place at 1:17 p.m. The partial eclipse will end at 2:35 p.m.Whether the weather will cooperate for Pennsylvanians to view this event is looking questionable. Cloudy skies with rain are likely on Saturday, so viewing conditions will not be ideal.

Directly looking at an eclipse can be harmful to your eyes. This includes using a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special solar filter.
