A cross-section of the United States, from Texas to Maine, will be directly underneath Monday’s total solar eclipse, a celestial phenomenon during which the Moon passes directly between Earth and the Sun, completely obscuring (for about three minutes) its light. Those states experiencing complete darkness, and a drop in temperature, are in what scientists call “the path of totality.”
Florida, unfortunately, is far south and east of this path, making the total eclipse unviewable. It will, however, be possible to observe a partial eclipse, about 60 percent, from parts of the Sunshine State, including the Tampa Bay Area. Read more at www.stpetecatalyst.com.
