New York will be one of those that will be at the center of the solar eclipse on April 8.
This is one of the most anticipated astronomical events of the year and will occur entirely along a 124-mile line of the State.
Most of the northwest of the State will be able to see the phenomenon, which will have a period of total darkness for about 4 minutes.
This will be seen in areas such as Buffalo, Rochester, Jamestown, Syracuse and Plattsburgh, among others.
In New York City the eclipse will be partial, but most of the sun will be covered.
The eclipse will begin in Western New York shortly after 2 p.m. Eastern Time.
Totality will begin in Chautauqua County at 3:17 p.m.
In the area that will have a total solar eclipse, there will be activities to observe it.
The New York tourism department invited New Yorkers from the City to come to these tourist areas to see it.
There will be activities in different cities to observe it, some of them will be free.
These are the times where the eclipse will be seen in New York State

Recommendations when observing the eclipse
The tourism department compiled a series of recommendations for those who plan to observe the solar eclipse:
- Keep your eyes protected
- Do not look directly at the sun during the eclipse.
- Sunglasses will NOT protect your eyes.
- If your eyes are exposed to the sun without proper protection, it can cause “eclipse blindness,” which can temporarily or permanently damage your eyes.
- One of the best ways to view a solar eclipse is through a pinhole projector in which you see a projected image made through a pinhole in cardboard paper. NASA has a tutorial on how to make one.
- Another way to view a solar eclipse without damaging your eyes is by using International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses from a trusted source.
- Don’t forget the sunscreen. Spring weather can be warm and sunny.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.

Rarely can you see something like this, but the most important thing was when the town of Keerville went dark for a moment. “We are as close to the ring of fire as I have ever seen in my life,” said NASA specialist Elizabeth Landau.
