For example, while the eclipse will not be visible from New York City, just 85 miles to the southwest, at Philadelphia, the edge of the Moon’s dark silhouette will appear to encroach upon the Sun at 6:07 p.m. ET. Twelve minutes later, maximum eclipse will be attained, with the Moon only obscuring about 2 percent of the Sun’s diameter (or just three-tenths of one percent of the total area of the Sun’s disk). The "eclipse" -- if we can charitably call it that – will come to an end at 6:32 p.m. ET.
But remember don't look directly at the sun.... :cool:
