Will you see the “double sunrise” on March 29, 2025? That day, we will see a partial solar eclipse — the continent’s first since 2024’s total solar eclipse — at sunrise across parts of North America.
It will be possible to glimpse the eclipsed sun as it rises into the sky after sunrise in northeastern U.S. states and Atlantic Canada. Timeanddate’s eclipse map gives an exact schedule and a simulation for any location.
Partial Solar Eclipse 2025: What You Need To Know
The best views will be afforded to those who travel to the coastal areas of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine to see the sun appear on the eastern horizon while in a deep eclipse. For eclipse chasers viewing from close to a 350-mile (560 kilometers) long line between the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada and the easternmost point of Maine in the U.S., the rare sight of “solar horns” — when the sun’s crescent appears as two separate points on the horizon — will be possible, clear skies allowing.
This striking effect of a “double sunrise,” caused by the moon partially obscuring the rising sun, will be visible from select locations in southeastern Quebec, southwestern New Brunswick and northeastern Maine. The effect will last only minutes, requiring precise positioning and an unobstructed eastern horizon for the best views.
Wherever you go to watch this eclipse at sunrise, there are sightlines to the sunrise and clear weather to think about. Here are some locations that fit the former — though the latter might be harder to arrange in advance — with a simulation of what you’ll see from each one.
