New York will see a partial solar eclipse on Wednesday, Aug. 12, from about 12:51 p.m. to 2:45 p.m., with no totality in the state; totality will be visible in parts of Europe and Africa.

To safely view the annular eclipse on October 14, it is important to wear specialized eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard. Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses are not safe for direct viewing of the sun. Alternatively, a pinhole projection method can be used to see the partially eclipsed sun. It is crucial to inspect the solar filter for any damage before use and to follow the instructions provided. Looking at the sun through unfiltered optical devices can cause serious eye damage.
