Nearly everyone in the U.S. has a shot at seeing at least a partial solar eclipse on Saturday.
But when and what you’ll see varies widely across the country.
Portions of Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas are in the path of annularity. That means those areas have a chance to see the full ‘ring of fire,’ the bright circle of sun that will be visible around the moon at the peak of the eclipse.
The rest of the continental U.S. will experience a partial solar eclipse where the moon partially covers the sun.

Below is a state-by-state breakdown of what you can expect to see and when, depending of course on whether skies are clear or cloudy. The percentage indicates the maximum coverage of the sun by the moon over most of the state. Fifty percent, for example, means half the sun will be covered at the peak of the eclipse.
All times are local and correspond approximately to the peak of the eclipse in the city listed, according to NASA’s interactive eclipse map unless otherwise noted. Note that times might vary by several minutes in different parts of the same state.
