Eclipse - April 8th

 

Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler

Path of the April 8, 2024 eclipse

By the numbers: Around 74% of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon for the eyes of Twin Cities residents — with the eclipse starting around 12:50 pm and peaking around 2pm, according to NASA. Those in the southeast corner of Minnesota could see closer to the full thing. Wisconsin is not on the eclipse's path of totality and will only experience a partial solar eclipse where the moon only covers part of the sun.

Here's the instructional links and schedule for Willow:

We'll keep an eye on the weather!

Have a great week!
