The Great Detroit Eclipse FOMO: When Does This Shadowy Business End?
Hey there, fellow Detroiters! Ever feel like you're missing out on all the cool stuff? Like, meteor showers everyone's raving about but you just happen to be blinking at the wrong moment? Well, fret no more! Because while we might not be in the prime position for the next big eclipse (thanks a bunch, Canada!), we can still catch a glimpse of this celestial spectacle. But the big question remains: when will this whole moon-in-front-of-the-sun thing be over in Detroit?

| What Time Will The Eclipse Be Over Detroit |
Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Partial Snoozefest (Kind Of)
The good news? We don't have to deal with plunging into total darkness like some fancy-pants southern states. The bad news? Our eclipse is a bit of a partial party pooper. We're talking a maximum of 99% coverage, which basically means the sun will get a little shy but not quite hide behind the moon. Still cool, but not quite "whoa, is that a giant Oreo up there?" cool.
The peak of the eclipse hits Detroit around 3:14 PM on [date of next eclipse]. So, mark your calendars, fire up the metaphorical grill (because let's be honest, who wants to cook during an eclipse?), and get ready for a slightly dimmer afternoon.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
But Wait, There's More! (Important Safety Info)
Just because it's not a total eclipse doesn't mean you can stare directly at the sun like a champ. Looking at the sun, even during an eclipse, is a big no-no. It can seriously damage your peepers. Make sure you have some certified eclipse glasses to enjoy the show safely. Don't try using sunglasses, a colander (tempting, we know), or that funky disco ball you have hanging in the basement. Your eyes will thank you.
