A partial solar eclipse is set to rise in the skies over western Europe and eastern North America on Saturday March 29th, and a rare “double sunrise” phenomenon could also occur. The partial eclipse will be visible across western Europe and along the eastern seaboard of the United States. Cities like Boston will get nearly half of the sun covered by the moon, with diminishing amounts in New York and Washington, D.C.
Some stargazers could see what will appear as “devil’s horns” or a “double sunrise” as the sun rises above the horizon, with the moon’s silhouette appearing to split the sun in two as it rises, as it did in Qatar in recent years... parts of northeast Maine could see the phenomenon, along with parts of New Brunswick and Quebec in Canada.
