Answer 1

Hi DC!

Friday's eclipse is not visible in Washington.  

The partial eclipse could be glimpsed from two parts of the country:  far northern Maine and the north slope of Alaska.  But nowhere else in US territory.

The eclipse occurs between 5:30 a.m. and 7:20 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, over Siberia and central China.  

Patience, though.  On August 21, 2017 we'll have a coast-to-coast total eclipse of the sun here in the US, one you could see by driving to South Carolina.

Answer 2

Oh and for all you Breaking Dawn Fans

Probably if you have a good view of it  

Before BREAKING DAWN is released

There will be an ECLIPSE

Due to the NEW MOON

At TWILIGHT hours

Answer 3

No. Not even close.

Try actually *reading* the article next time. It says where the eclipse is visible.

Answer 4

NO.  Totality starts in Canada, then heads east across the ocean and comes back in Europe and Asia.

Answer 5

Washington is far down south from where the eclipse (9:20am) starts. So you can't see from Washington.

Answer 6

No, it won't be visible from Washington D.C. The only place in the U.S. which will see a partial eclipse is northern Maine, with a very small partial eclipse at sunrise.
