Partial phases of the solar eclipse of December 25, 2000 will be visible throughtout most North America (See: Global Map and Detailed Map).
The following table lists times (Local Standard Time) and local circumstances at maximum eclipse for a number of cities in the United States.
Please note that times are given using the 24 hour 'military style' time.
To convert times later than 12:59 to 'pm', just subtract 12 hours from the time.
The predictions include the times of beginning, maximum and end of the eclipse, the magnitude (expressed as a decimal fraction), the altitude of the Sun during the eclipse and the duration of the eclipse from start to finish.
Cities are listed alphabetically by state and city.

Each eclipse GIF is only 18 kBytes in size, so access time should be fast!
The eclipse will not be visible from Alaska except for the southernmost corner of the state.
From that area, a very small partial eclipse may be seen briefly at sunrise.
Extreme care must be taken when looking at the Sun.
