The next partial solar eclipse is expected to occur on September 21 and be visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Those viewing the partial eclipse are advised to follow safe viewing practices, as observing the sun without proper eye protection can cause permanent damage.

Unlike a total solar eclipse, part of the sun is still visible during a partial solar eclipse, so there is no darkening of the sky or visible solar corona.

On March 29, a partial solar eclipse will cast a shadow on the sun for people in the Northeast. See when, where and how to look.
