Will ppl in the US be able to see the Aug. 1 eclipse?

Question

Would we be able to see it at all, part of it, or nothing?... In NE Pennsylvania?

Answer 1

no. only northern maine might see it. the next solar eclipse for the U.S is august 2017.

Answer 2

The only people in the U.S. to see the partial eclipse on 1st August will be those in northern Maine with a clear view of the sunrise. Even then it will be difficult to see and will only last a few minutes.

You will be out of luck in Pennsylvania because the eclipse won't be visible at all from there.

Answer 3

I heard the moon's shadow did not get a visa to enter the US. So, the answer to your question is no.

Answer 4

Definitely not a full eclipse. The full eclipse shadow is fairly narrow and doesn't even touch the US. You may be able to see a partial from PA.

Answer 5

yes we will.

Answer 6

Those who have been waiting two years for a total solar eclipse of the sun can rejoice when the next one occurs on August 1, 2008. The path of the moon's umbral shadow begins in Canada and extends across northern Greenland, the Arctic region, central Russia, Mongolia, and China. A partial eclipse will be seen within the broader path of the moon's penumbral (partially shaded outer region) shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe, the Middle East and western parts of Asia.

The longest duration of the solar eclipse’s totality will occur in Russia and last for about two minutes and 27 seconds at about 10:22 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on this day. Total solar eclipses happen about once every 1.5 years. Shadow bands are often seen on the ground as totality approaches.
