When Does This Darn Eclipse End?!
So, you're in NYC and you're wondering when this cosmic photobomb is gonna wrap it up? Let's talk about the great eclipse of 2024 and why it's making us all feel like we're living in a bad sci-fi movie.
The Day the Sun Went on Vacation
First things first, let's get real: the eclipse isn't technically over until the moon completely stops blocking the sun. But let's be honest, who's really counting after the peak? We're talking about that magical moment when it feels like the world is holding its breath. That's the part that matters, right?
So, What Time is it Actually Over?
Okay, okay, we'll give you the real deal. The partial eclipse will gradually fade away over the next hour or so after the peak. Think of it like a slow-motion sunset, but way cooler (and creepier).
Pro Tip: Don't bother checking your watch. Time loses all meaning during an eclipse. Just enjoy the show!
