Did We Miss the Party?
Well, that depends. There already was a total solar eclipse in Fresno way back on April 8th, 2024. Did you miss it? Don't worry, we've all been there (staring at the wrong side of the fridge for the milk, anyone?). But fear not, eclipse enthusiasts! Fresno gets another shot at glory with a partial lunar eclipse coming up on September 18th, 2024. Mark your calendars!
