Eclipse Alert! Jacksonville, Florida Brace Yourselves... for Absolutely Nothing!
Hey there, sunshine seekers and moon enthusiasts of Jacksonville! Did you dust off those fancy eclipse glasses and unearth that old astronomy textbook? Hold on to your hats (metaphorically, because eclipses don't involve wind), because today there is absolutely no eclipse happening in our fair city.
That's right, you can put away the eclipse snacks (because who needs a special excuse to eat cookies, really?) and cancel your viewing party. The universe is apparently taking a day off from celestial light shows.
But wait! Don't despair! Just because there's no eclipse today, doesn't mean Jacksonville is forever eclipse-free. Here's the real tea:
- A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse is Coming! Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 18th, 2024. The Earth will cast a dramatic shadow on the moon, turning it a spooky red hue. Think giant mood lighting for our lunar neighbor.
