If that’s too long to wait, two total lunar eclipses are also coming, one in September and another next March. Unlike total solar eclipses, which are visible only along a narrow path on Earth’s surface, total lunar eclipses can be seen by mostly anyone on the night side of the planet.

Here's how to watch the partial solar eclipse on March 29: The partial solar eclipse will be visible in the United States early Saturday morning, around 4:50 a.m. EDT and end just before 8:43 a.m., according to the website Time and Date. The eclipse will be visible and peak at different times depending on the location in the U.S.
