Fans attending Saturday’s Alabama-Arkansas game will get an added show as the solar eclipse will take place in the sky above Bryant-Denny Stadium as the Crimson Tide and Razorback play on the field below.
Millions across the country will see a rare “ring of fire” eclipse of the sun. What’s called an annular solar eclipse will briefly dim the skies over sections of the western U.S. and Central and South America on Saturday. However, as Spann points out, that won’t be the case in Alabama.“This is a partial where we are,” he told AL.com. “It’s not an annular or a full. It’s just a partial. Half the sun will be obscured at the peak, which will be 12:08 p.m.
Spann re-iterates sunglasses do not protect your eyes while staring at an eclipse. Either does viewing it through a phone or camera lens. “Eclipse glasses are great. It’s fine. It’s a teachable moment. It’s science. It’s fun. You just can’t stare at this thing.”Handheld viewers must cover both eyes@Mark_Heim
