PHILADELPHIA - A total solar eclipse will cross parts of the Northern Hemisphere on Wednesday, and people in Philadelphia could see a partial eclipse in the afternoon.
What time is the eclipse in Philadelphia?
The partial eclipse in Philadelphia is expected to begin at 1:11 p.m., peak at 1:53 p.m. and end at 2:35 p.m.
At its peak, the moon will cover about 15% of the sun as seen from Philadelphia. The total eclipse will not be visible from the region.
Where will the total eclipse be visible?
NASA says totality will be visible in parts of Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain and a small corner of Portugal.
A partial eclipse will also be visible across parts of the United States, including Pennsylvania, as well as much of Canada, Europe and northwestern Africa.
