New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse
The March new moon will occur on Saturday, March 29 at 6:58 a.m. EDT, 3:58
a.m. PDT, and 10:58 UT. This new moon will also produce a very deep partial solar eclipse visible across the northeastern USA and Canada, Greenland, most of Europe, northwestern Africa, and northern Russia. After the moon's
penumbral shadow first contacts Earth at 08:50:43 UT in the Atlantic Ocean north of Belem, Brazil, it will sweep northwestward through the New England states and the Canadian Maritimes, across Quebec and Nunavut, then over the pole and southward through northern Russia until it lifts off Earth north of Krasnoyarsk at 12:43:45 UT. The instant of greatest eclipse, with the moon blocking 94% of the sun's diameter, will occur on the northeastern coast of Hudson Bay, Canada just after sunrise at 6:47 a.m. EDT or 10:47:27 UT. This
new moon will also generate large tides worldwide.
