Another Solar Eclipse Will Be Visible From Maine on Saturday

Do you remember where you were for the solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024? Well, there’s another solar eclipse happening this week!

This solar eclipse doesn’t have nearly as much hype as the one we saw in 2024, but it’s still a pretty amazing thing to witness.

So, with that in mind—when is this next solar eclipse happening, when will it be visible, and where in Maine can we see it?

A partial solar eclipse will take place early in the morning on Saturday, March 29th, according to Space.com and TimeAndDate.com. This phenomenon occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking part of the sunlight and casting a shadow— in this instance, over our part of the Earth.

Again, according to Space.com and TimeAndDate.com, the eclipse is expected to begin around 6:13 a.m. and last until 7:17 a.m, here in Maine.

The eclipse won’t be as big as last year’s Great North American Eclipse, but it will be visible along the eastern horizon in D.C. and 13 Northeast states, including, of course, here in Maine.

It should go without saying, of course, but here we go: Never look directly at the sun during a solar eclipse, even a partial one.

The sun's rays can seriously damage your eyes and even cause 'eclipse blindness' in seconds. To stay safe, use proper eclipse glasses. If you still have a pair from last year, those will work perfectly!

Here’s what we know: a partial solar eclipse will be visible over Maine on the morning of March 29th, 2025.
