Uh Oh, Eclipse Alert! But Did You Miss the Memo?
Hey there, space cadets and stargazers! Just peeped your search query about eclipses near Portland, and gotta say, unless you've been chilling under a rock (lunar or otherwise), you might be a tad late to the cosmic party.
There isn't an eclipse happening tonight, at least not one you can see with your naked eye (unless you're a superhero with laser vision, then by all means, go nuts). But hey, no worries! We've all been there, calendars are tricky beasts.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
Now, before you dust off your tinfoil hat and declare the government is hiding the eclipse from you (it's not aliens, we promise!), let's dig into what might have gotten you here.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.

Did You Miss the Great Portland Eclipse of... April?
That's right, folks! The last eclipse visible from Portland was a solar eclipse way back in April. We're talking about prime sun-blocking action, though with special glasses, of course. You wouldn't want to accidentally swap your retinas for a moon tan, would you?
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
But Fear Not, Future Eclipse Fanatics!
Just because you missed the last one, doesn't mean you're doomed to a life devoid of celestial wonders. Here's the good news: there are more eclipses on the horizon!
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.

Mark your calendars (or implant a handy eclipse reminder chip in your brain, whatever floats your boat):
- September 18th, 2024: A partial lunar eclipse. The moon will take a little nibble out of the sun's shadow, but it should still be a pretty sight.
- March 14th, 2025: This is the big one, Portland! A total lunar eclipse. Get ready for the moon to turn a dramatic shade of red (not from embarrassment about the April miss, we swear).
Important Note: These are just the upcoming eclipses visible from Portland. If you're willing to travel (because who doesn't love a good eclipse road trip?), there might be other celestial shows happening sooner!
