The Lowdown on the Kansas City Eclipse
First things first, let's get one thing straight: Kansas City is not in the path of totality for the upcoming April 8, 2024, eclipse. Gasp! I know, the city of fountains and barbecue missing out on the big show? It’s almost as shocking as finding a ketchup bottle in a Chicago hot dog joint.
But fear not, KC! You'll still get a pretty darn good show. You're in for a partial eclipse, which is like getting the appetizer instead of the main course. Still delicious, just not as filling.

Timing is Everything (Almost)
The partial eclipse in Kansas City will start around 12:37 PM on April 8, 2024. Think of it as the eclipse's warm-up act. The main event, the maximum eclipse, will happen around 1:54 PM. That's when the moon will be covering about 90% of the sun. Pretty impressive, right? Then, the show starts to wind down, with the eclipse ending around 3:11 PM.
