When the moon passes in front of the sun, a partial solar eclipse occurs. This year, the moon will not completely cover the sun, which will form a bright ring around the moon’s outline called the “ring of fire.” According to NASA.

The solar eclipse will be visible in the mid-Atlantic, including the Delaware Valley, as well as parts of the Northeast and Southeast and Midwest.

In Philadelphia, the largest solar eclipse will occur after sunrise at about 5:32 in the morning, lasting about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
