2025 solar eclipse visible in NYC tomorow: What time, how to see it
JUMP TO: What time is the eclipse? | What will the eclipse look like? | NYC weather forecast
On Saturday morning, the moon will slide in front of the sun, creating a partial solar eclipse visible across parts of the Northeast. This includes New York City, where 22% of the sun will be covered.
Here's what you need to know about eclipse timing and how you can see the celestial spectacle - if the weather permits!
Local perspective
For the Tri-State, the timing is tricky. The eclipse will begin before sunrise, meaning the sun will already be partially covered when it rises over the city skyline.
That gives you just a few minutes to catch the show before it ends.
Sunrise (when the eclipse begins): 6:44 a.m.
Maximum: 6:46 a.m.
Eclipse ends: 7:04 a.m.
According to FOX 5 NY's Mike Woods, light showers and fog could impact visibility during the partial eclipse, but it's early, and cloud cover predictions can change quickly.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, almost the entire U.S. eclipse zone is forecast to be shrouded in clouds on Saturday morning. There may be a small gap of clearing in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but the eclipse won't be too noticeable there. Still, getting a lucky break in the clouds could reveal the show.
The moon will block only 22% of the sun, meaning if we can see the eclipse, it will look like a wide crescent, like someone took a bite out of the sun. See the image below:
Eclipse watchers should also keep an eye out for crescent sun shadows!
Unlike a total solar eclipse– when the moon's shadow completely covers the sun for several minutes – a partial eclipse does not allow you to look directly at the Sun without eye protection at any time.
To view a partial eclipse, you must wear your certified solar eclipse glasses for the entirety of the event. These glasses need to meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard for direct sun viewing, according to the American Astronomical Society.
Regular sunglasses are not safe for viewing any partial or annular eclipse because sunglasses allow more sunlight than is safe for your eyes.
A partial eclipse is also indirectly visible through the shadows you can create with your hands or other objects.
The eclipse will be visible in Europe, western Africa, eastern Canada and the northeastern U.S. The timing of the event will be better for those across the Atlantic Ocean, who are hours ahead of the U.S.
Other Northeast Corridor cities, including Philadelphia and Boston, will get a peek at the partial eclipse.

Where rain could disrupt Fourth of July weekend festivities
While a cold front impacting the East on Thursday will have moved out by Friday, that doesn't mean clear skies for everyone's Fourth of July festivities. There are still plenty of areas where you'll need to be prepared for the possibility of rain at your outdoor events, fireworks displays, and parades this holiday weekend. The FOX Forecast Center said another wave of storms is moving across the northern tier, and the Southeast will still be dodging tropical showers. Elsewhere, it looks like FOX Weather's exclusive Risk of Weather Impact (ROWI) will be very low for most Americans, meaning fireworks can go off with a bang. Northeast and mid-Atlantic Dry and seasonably warm days are expected through Friday and into the weekend, following the departure of a series of cold fronts. Temperatures will generally be in the 80s. The FOX Forecast Center said no weather-related impacts are anticipated for most of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, which are under a zero ROWI. 4 While a cold front impacting the East on Thursday will have moved out by Friday, that doesn't mean clear skies for everyone's Fourth of July festivities. Tim Davis – Southeast A gradual increase from low to medium ROWI is expected across parts of the Southeast. The area to watch in the region still has the potential to develop into a tropical system. On Friday, most showers will be concentrated over Florida, with some moisture possibly extending into the Carolinas and the Gulf Coast. Outside of Florida, much of the Southeast should remain mostly dry. Northern Plains and Upper Midwest 4 The FOX Forecast Center said another wave of storms is moving across the northern tier, and the Southeast will still be dodging tropical showers. FOX Weather 4 Dry and seasonably warm days are expected through Friday and into the weekend, following the departure of a series of cold fronts. FOX Weather The FOX Forecast Center said the northern Plains and Upper Midwest will be the hotspot for potential Fourth of July disruptions. A series of disturbances will track across those regions, bringing the threat of storms, some of which could be severe, by Friday evening. States like Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Nebraska could experience a high ROWI. It won't be a total washout, but localized impacts are possible, the FOX Forecast Center noted. Rest of the country 4 Reports say you'll need to be prepared for the possibility of rain at your outdoor events, fireworks displays, and parades this holiday weekend. lightscience – Calm conditions will dominate the rest of the country. The entire West is clear of significant weather, and while the Southwest and southern Plains may see isolated pop-up showers, they're expected to be brief and minor. The ROWI remains low to zero across the board, the FOX Forecast Center added.

Over 1.5m Americans Told To Stay Out of Sun on 4th of July
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Heat-related advisories were in place across four states on Friday, July 4, with the National Weather Service (NWS) warning of "dangerously hot conditions" in some areas. Why It Matters The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that extreme heat can lead to heat-related illnesses, especially in older adults, young children, and individuals with chronic medical conditions. Symptoms may include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, dizziness and nausea. The agency reports that more than 700 people die annually in the U.S. due to extreme heat. Rising temperatures can also worsen ground-level ozone, adding to health risks. New Yorkers cross 41st Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan during a heat wave on June 25, 2025 in New York City. New Yorkers cross 41st Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan during a heat wave on June 25, 2025 in New York City. CraigWhat To Know An extreme heat warning, which the NWS issues when "extremely dangerous heat conditions are expected or occurring," was in effect for northeast Minnesota, including Crow Wing, Aitkin, Pine, Koochiching, Cass, Itasca, Carlton and Saint Louis counties. The warning also covered the northwestern Wisconsin counties of Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Sawyer, and Washburn counties. Heat index values, which reflect how hot it feels to the human body when both humidity and air temperature are considered, between 95 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit were possible in these regions, the NWS said. "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room if possible, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors," it advised. Meanwhile, less severe heat advisories were in place across parts of North Dakota and Alaska, as well as Wisconsin and Minnesota. Northeast and southeast portions of North Dakota could see heat index values up to 101, the NWS said. It advised residents in affected areas to wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, and limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. In Alaska, heat advisories covered parts of the state's interior, northern and northwest areas. The NWS expected hot temperatures ranging from 75 to 90 across the affected areas. "Individuals not accustomed to these unusually hot temperatures for this region may experience heat-related illnesses," it warned. What People Are Saying The National Weather Service forecast office, Duluth, Minnesota, said on X, Thursday: "A Heat Advisory is in effect Friday for all areas except the North Shore when very warm temperatures in the mid-80s to low 90s F and dewpoints in the upper-60s to low-70s F will create Heat Index values in the low to upper-90s." NWS Grand Forks, North Dakota, said on X, Thursday: "Heat and humidity will combine to create heat impacts Friday afternoon. Apparent temperatures will rise to over 100 degrees in spots. Impacts will be highest for those out in direct sunlight. Make sure to stay hydrated and move to a cooler area if needed." What Happens Next At the time of writing, the extreme heat warning for Minnesota and Wisconsin was in effect until 8 p.m. CDT.

A Fragment of Earth's Original Crust Still Exists—and It's Buried in Canada
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Here's what you'll learn in this story: What are now thought to be the oldest rocks on Earth have been confirmed to have an age of almost 4.2 billion years, almost as old as the planet itself. Researchers were met with controversy for their initial claims, but dating isotopes of one metal that decayed into another showed that the igneous rock from northeastern Canada really was that old. This ancient piece of our planet could tell us more about its turbulent past. Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and as the eons passed, the crust of the young planet experienced turbulence. Asteroid collisions shattered some parts, which melted and recrystallized, while tectonic plates constantly shifted and triggered volcanic eruptions that oozed magma over the surface. Erosion further erased evidence of our planet's early scars. The most ancient layers of crust were all but lost—until now. The oldest crust on our planet formed during what is known as the Hadean epoch. Reaching back to the period between 4.6 to 4 billion ago, this was when the Solar System was still forming in a thick haze of gas and dust (possibly the refuse from a supernova) that surrounded the nascent Sun. It is an epoch not even considered part of geologic time because, for years, the only rocks found dating back from this period were meteorites that fell from space. Hadean meteorites and lunar rocks up to 4.5 billion years old have been found before, but nothing directly from Earth even came close. As Earth became covered in swaths of ocean, layers of soil and landscapes as diverse as forests, deserts, mountains, volcanic plains, glaciers, grasslands and cities built by humans, primordial relics were buried even deeper. Anything found to have been part of our planet's crust in the distant past was 3.8 billion years old or younger. That puts even our latest findings in the Archean period, which followed the Hadean. Geologist Jonathan O'Neil of Ottawa University in Canada refused to believe there were no Hadean fragments of crust remaining. While zircons found embedded in Australian rocks were successfully dated back to that period, an actual piece of crust that old had never surfaced. In a controversial 2008 study, O'Neil and his research team claimed that they had discovered a part of the original crust in northeast Canada's remote Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt. This formation has stayed intact almost since Earth was born. It could be a portal into Earth's earliest growing pains. There was just one problem. Another group of researchers steadfastly argued that the rocks of the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt were no older than 3.8 billion years. While the 4-billion-year-old rocks of the Acasta gneiss in the northwest of Canada were slightly older, having just barely formed at the end of the Hadean, they were still not old enough. O'Neil was determined to prove that the Nuvvuagittuq rock, originally a flood plain of magma that hardened into volcanic basalt, predated the other pieces of crust. It turned out that the evidence was hiding in the rock itself, and not in the form of zircons. When they first formed, they had contained samarium, a metal which oxidizes when exposed to air. Any samarium in the rocks was long gone. However, samarium isotopes had left behind chemical signatures of their decay into isotopes of neodymium. Two different isotopes of neodymium which had come from two samarium isotopes were both dated to 4.16 billion years. 'The age agreement between both extant and extinct radiogenic systems, in rocks related through igneous fractionation, is compelling evidence for preservation of Hadean rocks in the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt, opening a rare window into Earth's earliest times,' O'Neil and his colleagues said in a study recently published in Science. There could be more crust that ancient which has not been unearthed yet. It is even possible that some may have landed on the Moon. 4.4 billion years ago, not long after Earth formed, an extreme collision shattered part of the Earth and formed our only satellite, which has not been explored by humans since the Apollo Era. What future Artemis astronauts find once we return to the Moon might give us more insight about how our planet grew up.
