Timing Of The Eclipse By Town And What to Look For

As seen from Western New York at mid-eclipse, the Sun will be in the southwestern sky, a little more than halfway up from the horizon to the overhead point.

The Moon will begin to cover the Sun just before 2:06pm . Using a safe solar viewing method, we will gradually see more and more of the Sun covered by the Moon. This time is called a partial phase because the Sun is partially covered by the Moon.

Totality begins at 3:19pm and lasts 3 minutes and 42 seconds (plus or minus a few seconds, depending on your exact location.)

After totality, the Moon gradually uncovers the Sun in a second partial phase. The eclipse ends for Genesee County viewers at 4:34pm.

To prevent eye damage, do not look directly at the Sun during the partial phases of an eclipse.  Don't look into a mirror at a reflected image of the Sun. Instead, look through a filter or ISO Certified-Safe Viewing Glasses, or project the Sun's image onto some surface. 

It is safe to look directly at the Sun without viewing equipment only during the brief time of totality.
