The Sun's Got a Date
Let's get down to brass tacks. The solar eclipse in Houston started around 12:20 PM on April 8, 2024. That's right, it's history. The peak of the eclipse was around 1:40 PM, when things got really interesting. But don't worry if you missed it, the show ended around 3:01 PM. So, if you were busy binge-watching something or napping (no judgment), you might have missed the celestial spectacle.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
Eclipse Chasers and Sun-Gazers
Now, if you’re one of those people who planned a whole party around this event, complete with eclipse-themed snacks and a "Save the Date" card for the moon, then kudos to you! You're officially an eclipse chaser. But for the rest of us, who were more interested in our afternoon coffee, we can always catch the next one. Just kidding, the next one is a lunar eclipse, so you won't need those fancy eclipse glasses.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
Protect Your Peepers!
Remember, looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, can damage your eyes. So, unless you want to explain to your doctor why you're suddenly colorblind, make sure to use those special eclipse glasses. And no, regular sunglasses won't cut it. Your eyeballs are precious, treat them with care.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
