You can read the table above as follows: On March 29, 2025 in Bridgeport, Connecticut (UTC -6), an eclipse of type partial solar eclipse will start at 06:43(r), the maximum eclipse will occur at 06:43(r) when the Sun reaches an altitud of 0(r)° and azymuth of 085°; this event will come to an end at 07:05:40 and will have a magnitud of 0.398(r) (the magnitude of an eclipse is the ratio of the apparent size of the Moon to the apparent size of the Sun during an eclipse) and an obscurity of 0.285(r) (the fraction of the Sun obscured).
We must take into account the altitude of the sun, for example, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, due to the low altitude of the Sun (0(r) degrees) this solar eclipse will not be very obvious.

Protect your eyes
Observers must be very careful while viewing the solar eclipse. Our advice is to never look at the Sun with the naked eye.For safety, you must always use sunglasses, telescopes and binoculars with special filters. Never use these equipments without protection as the Sun's ultraviolet and infrared light may harm your eyes or cause blindness if you look at the Sun directly.
