But First, A Reality Check (Sorry, Not Sorry)
Now, before you dust off your tinfoil hats (because, let's face it, a regular hat just won't do for this celestial extravaganza), there isn't an eclipse happening right now (sad trombone sound). But fear not, eclipse enthusiasts, because there is one coming up! Mark your calendars, set phone reminders, write it on your bathroom mirror in lipstick – the next partial lunar eclipse graces Kansas City with its presence on September 18th, 2024.
So, When Does the Sun Go Bye-Bye (Kind Of)?
That's September 18th, folks! The partial phase of the eclipse starts at 9:04 PM CDT, and the whole thing wraps up by a chill 1:51 AM the next morning. That's over four hours of moon magic!
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
Here's a breakdown of the key times:
- Start of Partial Eclipse: 9:04 PM CDT
- Middle of Eclipse: 11:29 PM CDT
- End of Partial Eclipse: 1:51 AM CDT (September 19th)
Important Note: This is a partial eclipse, which means the moon won't completely cover the sun. Think of it as the sun taking a quick bathroom break – it'll be back, but things will look a little different for a while.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
