Question

East coast new york, solar eclipse august first, what time to what time in new york -5 EST time does it begin?

Answer 1

The August 1, 2008 eclipse is not visible at all from New York.

Answer 2

Hi Neighbor!

The solar eclipse of August 1st will be at its height at 6:21 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.  Unfortunately for us, the center of the eclipse will be high over Siberia at that time, so we will see absolutely none of the eclipse, not even the partial phases.  Extreme northern Maine will technically be able to see a moment of it at sunrise, just as the eclipse is ending.  In Newfoundland, the sun will rise 40% eclipsed.

The next total eclipse we'll be able to see from the Metropolitan area will not be until May 1, 2079.

Answer 3

I'm afraid New York won't get to see any of the eclipse, not even a partial one. It starts in the North-Eastern part of Canada, but misses all of the USA as the shadow travels North East across Greenland, skims through the Arctic Circle then back South East through Russia and China.
