A total eclipse will occur along a 113-mile-wide strip starting just north of Japan and ending in the North Atlantic as the moon comes between the sun and the earth. A partial eclipse will be visible" in America, ranging from about 14 per cent in San Francisco to 90 per cent in Boston. Scientists using sophisticated instruments including rockets carrying electronic observation gear, planned to tuack the eclipse from land, sea and air. Experts warned amateur astrologers and others that looking directly at the eclipse could cause permanent eye damage.

The total eclipse was scheduled to begin at sunrise (2:29 EDT) near Sakhalin Island north of Japan and travel eastward across the Sea of Okhotsk and the peninsula of Kamchatka in eastern Siberia, the Bering Straight, northern Alaska and Canada, Hudson Bay and the Canadian maritime provinces. It will fade out at 5:03 p.m. EDT in the North Atlantic. During the eclipse, the moon's shadow travels at an actual speed of 2.100 m.p.h. but since the earth's rotation is in the same direction (.040 m.p.h.) the shadow's apparent speed will be m.p.h: The full eclipse will last longest 2 minutes and 36 seconds in a remote area northwest of Hudson Bay and near the Arctic Circle.
