| How Long Will The Eclipse Last In Chicago Tomorrow |
The Great Chicago Blackout (or Not)
First off, let's get one thing straight: Chicago is not going to experience a total blackout. Repeat after me: Chicago is not going to experience a total blackout. The moon is more of a party pooper than a power-hungry villain. It's just going to take a big ol' bite out of the sun, like a cosmic cookie monster.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
How Long is This Drama Going to Last?
The whole shebang, from the moon starting its sneak attack to its final retreat, will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes. But don't get too excited. The main event, when the moon covers the most of the sun, will only last for a few minutes. So, you might want to practice your patience (or at least your eclipse photography skills).
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.

Eclipse Etiquette 101
Remember, staring directly at the sun is like staring directly at your phone's brightness setting - it's bad for your eyes. So, unless you want to explain to your friends why you're suddenly sporting shades like a futuristic grandma, invest in some eclipse glasses. And no, regular sunglasses won't cut it. They're about as effective as a paper umbrella in a hurricane.
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
