A mesmerizing partial solar eclipse bearing the “Devil’s Horns” will be visible across portions of the United States and North America later this week.

At sunrise Saturday, a “deep partial” solar eclipse will blot out a large enough portion of the sun that horn-like arcs of light will give early birds the impression of Lucifer’s horns, according to Weather.com.

Sky-watchers in the northeastern United States, as far south as Washington, DC, will be able to view the rare celestial event — and New Yorkers will be able to see roughly 20% of the sun eclipsed, In The Sky reported.

Maine will be the best place to catch the partial eclipse within the states, where residents there are expected to experience an 85% eclipse from the northern vantage.

Further north, much of Canada will experience the maximum 93% eclipse, giving Maple Leafers the best view of the “Devil’s horns,” which is a phenomenon specific to deep partial eclipses.

The sunrise surprise will also be visible in Greenland, Iceland, Great Britain, Spain, and even parts of Northern Africa. In Russia, the eclipse will be visible at sunset in Siberia.

On the East Coast, the sun will rise at 6:44 a.m. Saturday — which is when residents should be looking to the sky to witness the phenomenon.
