Eclipse predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC
The Moon takes a deep bite out of the Sun — 87% of the Sun's diameter covered at greatest eclipse. Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses or a proper solar filter — not during a partial phase, and not through a camera, binoculars, or a telescope. A partial eclipse never covers the whole Sun, so keep the glasses on the whole time.
