Partial Solar Eclipse: Times for Oswego Area

Partial solar eclipse: Times for Oswego Area

Start of partial eclipse: 1:17 p.m. (EDT). Look due south, about 60° above the horizon. Disk of the moon makes contact with disk of sun.

Maximum partial eclipse: 2:37 p.m. (EDT). Look 35º to the west of due south, about 55° above the horizon. 67% of the sun’s disk will be covered.

End of partial eclipse: 3:52 p.m. (EDT). Look 60° to the west of due south, about 40° above the horizon. The disk of the moon no longer makes contact with disk of sun.

People along the “path of totality” will get a glimpse of the totally shadowed sun, but only for a moment. The entire eclipse will only be visible for approximately two minutes and 40 seconds, according to NASA. If you’re not in the path of totality, it will be even shorter – maybe just a few seconds!
