Will the US be able to see the 2008 solar eclipse?

Question

I live in Chicago.

Answer 1

No, except for a small part of eastern Maine, where a little of the partial phase of the eclipse will be visible, weather permitting, just after sunrise.

The next chance for any part of a solar eclipse to be seen there in Chicago will be on May 20th, 2012 when a small part of a partial eclipse may be seen toward sunset. Otherwise the next chance to see a partial solar eclipse there would be on October 23, 2014.

Answer 2

The Solar Eclipse that takes place on August 1, 2008, will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.039 that will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern Canada (Nunavut), northern part of Russia, western Mongolia, and China. It belongs to the so-called midnight Sun eclipses, as it will be visible from regions experiencing Midnight sun
