The Great Oklahoma Eclipse Debacle (of 2024, Not Like, Every Night)
The good news? There's no need to dust off your fancy eclipse glasses tonight. The bad news? The last eclipse to grace Oklahoma with its presence was a solar one back in April, and let's just say the Moon has definitely moved on by now.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
So, tonight's celestial light show will be a big, beautiful yawn. Don't worry, Oklahoma, there will be more eclipses in your future, just like there will be more delicious fried onion burgers.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
