TUCSON, Ariz. — On Monday, April 8th, Tucsonans will be able to see a rare celestial event as a total solar eclipse takes place, marking the first occurrence since 2017.
The path of totality stretches from Mexico, through Texas, and extends to Maine. Totality is the brief moment when the moon completely covers the sun and will only last about four minutes. For those planning to witness the eclipse firsthand, it is impoprtant to purchase a pair of eclipse glasses because they are necessary for eye protection. Lunt Solar will offer glasses starting tomorrow, or you can obtain them from the Flandrau Science Center on Monday.
