Does everyone have their PROPER glasses for viewing tomorrow? Good, if not you gotta get 'em. If you follow Johnny on Twitter you'll know he retweeted a gentleman last night who was a very curious pre-teen back in 1978 and looked at a partial eclipse and gave the warning his right eye still burns from those few seconds of unprotected curiosity.
OK, so now that we know tomorrow is nothing to fool with, here are the particulars. The eclipse will begin at 1:23pm with the maximum coverage at 2:44pm and the moon exiting the sun's path at 4:00pm. This 74% coverage eclipse won't be the usual moon crossing sun here, the moon will drift in front of the sun and will look like it's pivoting in the middle of the sun before moving away to what the eye would consider 10 o'clock on the dial. Confused by that? A video is worth a thousand words, click this handy link with what it'll look like and all the details beyond what we've discussed here.
