When, where to watch it
Eclipse will be partially visible for the eastern US
The first solar eclipse of 2021 will be visible to the Northern Hemisphere on Thursday morning.
It will appear as a "sunrise event," with the moon passing between the Earth and the sun and partially obscuring the star from view and leaving its outer ring exposed.
The annular "ring of fire" eclipse will be best viewed by residents of parts of Canada, Greenland and northern Russia, according to NASA.
From Washington, D.C., the agency noted the moon would block around 80% of the sun as it rises at 5:42 a.m. ET, rising higher and eventually ending around 6:29 a.m. ET.
