Partial solar eclipse to darken skies for the second time in September

September gets two eclipses that are expected to darken skies.

The first eclipse was on Sept. 7.

Then on Sept. 21, a partial solar eclipse will be seen over part of Earth's southern hemisphere, EarthSky wrote. The eclipse should start at 17:29 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), or 1:29 p.m. on the East Coast. The moon's shadow should leave Earth's surface by 21:53 UTC, or 5:53 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

The sun should be 85% obscured during the eclipse, EarthSky wrote. But this eclipse is expected to be visible across part of Antarctica, New Zealand and part of Australia, according to Time and Date . The rest of the globe is not expected to see the partial eclipse.

Despite being a partial eclipse, it is recommended to use proper eclipse-viewing glasses in order to watch it safely.

For anyone who wants to see the eclipse, Time and Date will film a live stream on YouTube that begins at 12 p.m.
