| How Much Of The Eclipse Will Denver See |
The Big Bite: Up to 65% of Sun- desaparici�n!
That's right, folks, Denver is looking at a partial eclipse. Think of the sun as a giant pizza (because, Denver) – at the peak of the eclipse, the moon will take a big ol' bite out of it, covering up to 65% of the cheesy goodness. Not a total blackout, but hey, a pizza with 65% less cheese is still pretty darn impressive, right?
Here's the thing, though: This 65% business is just an estimate. The exact amount of sun-blocking action will depend on where you are in Denver (because, you know, Earth is round and all that). But hey, even a partial eclipse is a sight to behold, so get ready to whip out those special eclipse shades!
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Don't Be a Blockhead (When It Comes to Safety)
Looking at the eclipse with your naked eye is a big no-no. It's like staring directly into a disco ball – blinding and potentially retina-searing. So, make sure you have those certified eclipse glasses ready to go. Safety first, people, safety first.
Here's a bonus tip: Watching the eclipse with a bunch of friends and a picnic basket is a guaranteed good time. Just make sure your snacks aren't blocking your view of the cosmic ballet!
