Let's Talk 'Bout That Eclipse, Dude
Alright, so you're in LA, and you're thinking, "I gotta see this solar eclipse thing." Well, you're not alone. Everyone from the Kardashians to the homeless guy on your corner will be craning their necks skyward that day. But before you start planning your "eclipse party" (yes, that's a thing), let's get down to brass tacks: what time does this cosmic spectacle actually happen?
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
The Sun Takes a Nap
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
The big day is April 8, 2024. Mark your calendars, people! Now, let's get specific. In LA, we're not getting a total eclipse like some lucky folks. We're getting a partial eclipse. Think of it as the sun getting a really bad sunburn, but it doesn't disappear completely. Lame, right? But hey, it’s still a celestial event!
The eclipse will start around 10:06 AM Pacific Daylight Time. The peak of the eclipse, when the moon covers the most part of the sun, will be around 11:12 AM. And then, the sun will slowly start to recover its glow, ending the show around 12:22 PM.
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
