From Sun-Kissed to Sun-Kissed-Less: A Partial Eclipse Extravaganza
Now, some of you might be dreaming of a total eclipse, the kind where the day turns into night and everyone throws impromptu space parties. But hold your horses (or unicorns, if that's your thing). This time around, we're getting a partial eclipse. That means the moon will take a big bite out of the sun, but not enough for a complete blackout. Think of it as sunglasses for the whole city!
