Partial Solar Eclipse in WNY | Rochester News

Don’t miss this rare celestial treat: a partial solar eclipse rolling through Western New York on August 14th, with the moon covering just 9% of the sun at its peak—perfect timing around 2 PM in Rochester. Clear skies are forecast, but safety first—never look directly at the sun without proper eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector. Next big local eclipse? January 2029, when nearly half the sun will be obscured. And later this month, on the 27th–28th, eastern U.S. viewers get a partial lunar eclipse—with the moon turning a stunning reddish hue.
