| How Long Will The Eclipse Last In Nashville Tn |
Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's Eclipse Time!
That's right, folks! Nashville is gearing up for a partial solar eclipse, which basically means the moon's gonna take a big ol' bite out of the sun for a while. Pretty cool, right? Although, for some reason, it never seems to be during brunch. Missed opportunity there, moon.
But Seriously, Folks, How Long Will This Last?
Now, we know what you're really asking: how long will this cosmic light show steal the spotlight from the actual stars of Nashville? The good news is, you won't be stuck blinking in confusion for hours. The entire partial eclipse will last from 12:44 PM to 3:20 PM CDT.
The peak of the eclipse (when the moon chomps down for its biggest chunk of sun) will be around 2:03 PM CDT. At this point, a whopping 95% of the sun will be blocked out. That's some serious shade, even for Nashville.
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
Remember: Don't try to be a hero and look directly at the sun during the eclipse! Your eyes are not sunglasses, and unlike those rhinestone-encrusted shades you wore to the rodeo, they won't protect you from the sun's fury. Invest in some reputable solar eclipse glasses to enjoy the show safely. Safety first, friends, always safety first.

How can I make this into a party?
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Project the eclipse onto a white sheet using binoculars! Or, become a human sundial – track the movement of the eclipse shadow on the ground. Bonus points for yelling, "Hey sun, give us some of that back!"
How will this affect traffic?
Who knows? Nashville traffic is a wild beast on a normal day. Let's just say, prepare for some extra twinkle in everyone's eye (or maybe that's just the leftover glitter from last night's line dancing).
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
How much fun will this be?
On a scale of 1 to watching Dolly Parton ride a rhinestoned unicorn across the Grand Ole Opry stage, this eclipse is a solid 9. Don't miss it!
