Is the Sun Hiding? A Los Angeles Love Story
So, you're wondering how much of the sun will be covered in Los Angeles, huh? Well, let's just say the sun and LA have a complicated relationship. It's like that high-maintenance celebrity and their personal assistant - they’re inseparable, but they also have their moments.
The Sun's LA Vacation Plans
Now, the sun isn't exactly planning a vacation. But when it comes to eclipses, it does like to play a little hide-and-seek. And guess who's often in the audience? Los Angeles.
The Big Reveal:
For the upcoming eclipse, LA is getting a pretty good show. About half of the sun will be covered at its peak. So, imagine the sun wearing a really big, stylish hat. That's kinda what's happening.
Don't Be a Party Pooper (Or an Eye Popper)
Before you start planning your "apocalypse" party (hint: don't), remember: looking directly at the sun is a bad idea. It's like staring directly at a spotlight - you'll regret it later. So, grab those fancy eclipse glasses or make a pinhole projector. Safety first, people!
The Sun's Shady Behavior
