India, Aug. 12 -- Massachusetts Solar Eclipse 2026: Massachusetts will witness the August 12, 2026 solar eclipse as a partial solar eclipse although the worldwide event is a total solar eclipse, Massachusetts sits outside the narrow path of totality. In Boston, about 16.02% of the Sun will be obscured at maximum eclipse.

For Massachusetts skywatchers, the eclipse begins around 1:01 p.m. EDT, reaches its peak at 1:55 p.m., and ends around 2:46 p.m. in Boston. The entire event lasts roughly 1 hour and 44 minutes and that means Massachusetts will not experience the dramatic darkness associated with totality, but residents can still observe the Moon crossing the Sun with proper eye protection.
