The Tulsa Eclipse: A Partial Affair (But Still Pretty Neat!)
Ah, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Land of art deco delights, Route 66 nostalgia, and...partial solar eclipses? That's right, folks! While we may not be getting the full blackout treatment here, there's still a celestial show waiting to happen on September 18th, 2024.

But What Exactly Does "Partial" Mean?
Imagine the sun as a giant pizza (because, let's face it, pizza is awesome). A total eclipse would be like the moon taking a giant bite and leaving only the crust. In Tulsa, we're getting more of a serious nibble. The moon will cover a whopping 95.3% of the sun, leaving a thin crescent of fiery goodness. It'll be like someone took a pizza cutter and left you a sliver – still delicious, but definitely not the full experience.
Why the Partial Shade in Tulsa?
Eclipses are all about alignment, baby! This time around, the moon's shadow won't quite fall directly over Tulsa. But hey, at least we get a front-row seat to a phenomenal 95.3% spectacle, right? Think of it as a cosmic sneak peek, a glimpse into the drama of a total eclipse.
So, How Much of a Show Can I Expect?
Buckle up, space cadets! Here's what you can expect on September 18th:
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
- The partial eclipse will begin around 5:14 PM local time.
- The peak of the eclipse, when the moon covers the most sunlight, will hit around 6:04 PM. This is prime time for grabbing those super cool eclipse glasses (safety first, friends!) and snapping some out-of-this-world pics (hashtag #TulsaEclipsePartialParty).
- The whole thing will wrap up by 6:55 PM, leaving you with bragging rights and enough time to grab some delicious post-eclipse pizza (because, you know, pizza analogy).
Important Note: Looking directly at the sun, even during a partial eclipse, is a big no-no. It can seriously damage your eyesight. Those special eclipse glasses are your best bet for a safe and stunning view.
