Hey there, sun-worshippers and moon enthusiasts of Georgia! Buckle up, because tomorrow, June 19th, 2024, our good ol' sunshine is about to get a bit...well, dimmer. That's right, folks, we're having a partial solar eclipse!

But First, Coffee (Duh!)
Now, before we delve into the nitty-gritty details (because who wants to stargaze on an empty stomach?), let's address the most important question: when is the best time to grab that second (or third) cup of joe? Easy answer: whenever your heart desires! But for those eclipse enthusiasts who like to plan ahead, the show starts at 1:45 PM.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
The Main Event: It's Not Quite Night, But It's Not Quite Day Either
Alright, caffeine levels hopefully satisfied, let's talk eclipse! The big kahuna, the main squeeze – the peak of the eclipse hits around 3:04 PM. Here's the cool part: Georgia won't experience a total blackout (unless your fridge decided to kick the bucket that very moment). Instead, we'll be treated to a partial eclipse, where the moon covers up to 80-85% of the sun. Think of it as nature putting on a giant pair of sunglasses for the day.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
Important Note: Looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, is a big no-no. Your eyes are precious, folks! Invest in some solar eclipse glasses to safely enjoy the celestial spectacle.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.

So Long, Farewell, (Partial) Darkness
By 4:21 PM, the moon will have politely moved along, letting the sun shine (partially) bright again. But hey, even a partial eclipse is pretty darn cool, right?
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Bonus Tip: Want to impress your friends with some eclipse trivia? Tell them the moon is roughly 400 times smaller than the sun, but because it's also 400 times closer, they appear about the same size in the sky during an eclipse. Mind. Blown.
