A total solar eclipse will make its way above the U.S. on Monday, April 8.
According to NASA, a total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. If you’re located in the path of totality, the sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.
- What will the weather look like during the eclipse?
While Wisconsin will not be in the path of totality for the 2024 total solar eclipse, there are still a few events offering broadcasts or options to see the partial solar eclipse!
- If you want to see totality, you can stop by the Barlow Planetarium and watch NASA’s broadcast from the path.
- The planetarium will be streaming the entire eclipse from 12:30-3:30.
- You can also purchase eclipse glasses here all the way up to the eclipse.
- Family friendly event runs from 12:45pm – 3:00pm
