The last total solar eclipse was in 2017, and it’ll be another 20 years before we see another one! A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. However, we won’t see the total eclipse from our perspective.
For viewers in Montgomery and other portions of Alabama’s River Region, “about 81 percent of the sun’s surface will be covered,” according to Auburn University at Montgomery Associate Professor Randy Russell. “The eclipse here in Montgomery starts at 12:40 p.m. Central Daylight Time and lasts until 3:17 p.m. The maximum amount the eclipse will occur at 1:59 p.m.”look directly at the eclipse.
AUM will host a public viewing of the eclipse on Monday, April 8, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. between the. Telescopes and International Organization for Standardization-certified glasses will be available for safe viewing. If you miss out on next week’s opportunity, you’ll be waiting a while for the next eclipse. A total solar eclipse will cross the United States again in 2044 but will only be viewable in states like Montana and the Dakotas. Another total solar eclipse will happen in August 2045, with a path of totality crossing from California into the Southeastern United States.
