While Maryland is not within the direct path of today’s total solar eclipse, Pasadena locals will be able to catch a partial glimpse. During the solar eclipse, the moon will completely block the face of the sun, darkening the sky for those in the “path of totality,” which includes some 31 million Americans across 15 states.
According to this NASA solar eclipse map, Pasadena will witness a maximum eclipse coverage of 87.4 percent of the sun. Here are the details for this afternoon’s eclipse:
When to start watching: 2:05pm
