How much of the sun's face will be covered by the moon at maximum solar eclipse will depend on your location — the farther inland or south you go, the less crescent-shaped the sun will be. For example, observers in Boston and New York will see up to 54 and 48 percent of the sun obscured, respectively, while in Miami it's going to be 37 percent.

The last time a solar eclipse was widely visible from the United States was during the annular, or "ring" eclipse on May 20 last year. After this year's event, the next partial solar eclipse won't be seen in the country until October 23, 2014. [How to Safely Photograph the Nov. 3 Solar Eclipse (Photo Guide)]
