On April 8, parts of North America will witness a total solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth and blocks light from the sun completely. NASA has illustrated a path of viewing the full eclipse, which moves from south to north, from Mazatlan, Mexico across the southeastern U.S., then eastern U.S., until it reaches Montreal. 

Southwest Montana will see a partial eclipse. Starting at 11:37 a.m. on Monday, April 8 and reaching its peak at 12:40 p.m., the eclipse will be visible at different stages for two hours and seven minutes. While viewing solar eclipses, it is important to wear specific eye protection, not just sunglasses. To view the eclipse directly, NASA recommends safe solar viewing glasses and handheld solar viewing glasses. View more safety information on NASA’s website.
