Don't Miss Out! The Sun Goes on Vacation in Indianapolis (But Only for a Few Minutes)
Hey there, eclipse enthusiasts and curious onlookers! Have you heard the news? The sun is taking a quick vacation to...well, somewhere behind the moon, on April 8th, 2024. That's right, folks, Indianapolis is about to witness a total solar eclipse, and it's going to be legendary (assuming legends involve a little darkness in the middle of the afternoon).
But before you start freaking out about missing work or school (don't worry, your boss will understand...maybe), let's get down to the nitty-gritty:
The Big Moment: When Does the Sun Go on Vacation?
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
Mark your calendars, set those alarms (because let's face it, who remembers when an eclipse is happening naturally?), because the partial eclipse begins at 1:50 pm EDT. But the real star of the show, the total eclipse, starts at 3:06 pm EDT. That's your cue to whip out those special eclipse glasses (because staring directly at the sun is a great way to see fireworks...behind your eyelids...permanently) and witness the moon completely block out the sun. Pretty cool, right?
Alright, Enough Talk, How Long Does This Last?
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Don't worry, this celestial disappearing act won't leave you in perpetual darkness. The total eclipse will only last for 3 minutes and 50 seconds. So, it's basically a cosmic blink-and-you-miss-it situation. But hey, that just makes it even more special, right?

QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.

The total eclipse ends at 3:09 pm EDT, and the partial eclipse wraps up entirely at 4:23 pm EDT. By then, you can ditch the glasses (unless you just really like the feeling of looking like a hipster welder), and get back to your regularly scheduled sun-filled day.
