Buckle Up, Buttercup: It's Not This Time
Hold your horses, space cowboys! The recent eclipse action might have zipped by us faster than a comet with road rage. Yes, Nashville wasn't in the prime viewing spot for the big April eclipse. But fear not, fellow eclipse enthusiasts, there's more to the astronomical buffet than just one course!
A Lunar Light Show on the Horizon (Literally)
Mark your calendars, space cadets! Nashville is in for a treat on September 18th, 2024. That's when a partial lunar eclipse will be gracing our night skies. Now, a partial lunar eclipse isn't quite as dramatic as a solar eclipse (the sun getting a cosmic chomp), but it's still a pretty awesome sight. Imagine the moon looking a little bruised, a bit shadowy – like it got into a tussle with a rogue asteroid. Pretty cool, right?
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
Here's the best part: You don't need any fancy equipment to witness this lunar light show. Just find a spot with a clear view of the night sky, grab your favorite space-themed beverage (cosmos, anyone?), and settle in for a celestial spectacle.
How To FAQ: Your Eclipse Essentials

How to photograph the eclipse? A camera with a good zoom lens and a tripod will come in handy. There are also phone apps that can help you capture the event.
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
How long will the eclipse last? The entire eclipse will last for a few hours, but the partial phase, where the moon takes a bite out of the sun, will be visible for a shorter duration.
How to stay safe during the eclipse? This is a lunar eclipse, so looking directly at the moon is perfectly safe! Unlike a solar eclipse, you don't need any special eyewear.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
How to make it an epic eclipse party? String up some fairy lights, whip up some moon-shaped cookies, and invite your fellow space enthusiasts for a night of celestial wonder!
