The Great Atlanta Dimming: How Much Sun Will We Lose in the Eclipse?

So, How Much Sun Are We Talking About?
Here's the juicy bit: Atlanta will witness a whopping 80-85% coverage of the sun at the peak of the eclipse. That's a pretty significant chunk of sunshine being blocked by the moon! Imagine a giant celestial Pac-Man taking a bite out of our daytime star.
Now, before you start prepping for an impromptu nap under the (partially) darkened sky, remember this: even a sliver of sun is surprisingly bright. We won't see the dramatic daytime darkness you might see in the path of totality, but it'll still be a sight to behold.
Don't Be Blinded by the Hype (or the Sun!)
Look, we all love a good celestial event, but safety first, friends! Looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, is a big no-no. It's like staring into a cosmic oven – not recommended for your precious peepers. Make sure you get yourself a certified pair of eclipse glasses. They're not a fashion statement (although they could be with a little DIY pizzazz), but they'll protect your eyes from those harmful sunbeams.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
Here's the motto: Eclipse peepin', gotta have proper eye keepin'!!
