Partial Solar Eclipse to Grace North American Skies on August 12
On August 12, 2026, a partial solar eclipse will be visible across parts of North America, with the northeastern United States experiencing the most significant views. Locations such as Fairbanks, Alaska, and Presque Isle, Maine, will see up to 37% and 28% of the sun obscured, respectively. The eclipse will occur between 7:34 a.m. AKDT and 2:52 p.m. EDT, with varying degrees of visibility across different states.
