Answer 2

1 Aug 2008 - Total Solar Eclipse

(Saros 126, umbral mag. 1.039, max. eclipse 10:21 UT

total: 09:21:07 UT to 11:21:28 UT)

The track -- 237 km wide at maximum -- begins in north Canada, passes near the North Pole, and into northern Russia. It then runs south-east into China. It is visible as a partial eclipse in Britain, though will not be dramatic.

The maximum duration is 2 minutes 27 seconds, and the path width at maximum is 237 kilometers.

Answer 3

The August 1st eclipse won't be visible in the area around New York. In fact, you're in the middle of a particularly bad spell for solar eclipses, with none at all visible in NYC between the years 2001 and 2013.

Answer 4

No, the eclipse will not be visible there because it will occur before the Sun rises there.

Answer 5

NYC will only see a partial eclipse

Answer 6

Hi NY!

No.

This eclipse passes over the high Arctic, Siberia, Mongolia and central China.  The only places in the US even to see any of the partial eclipse are far northern Maine and the north slope of Alaska.  The eclipse occurs between 5:30 a.m. and 7:20 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

Our next eclipse is May 1, 2079.
