So, unless you’ve been living under a moon rock, you know that this Monday the United States will be experiencing a very rare type of solar eclipse.

Here in the St. Michael–Albertville area, we will have the opportunity to see a partial eclipse, meaning that about 83% of the sun’s light will be covered by the moon at the peak of the event. The eclipse will be visible from 11:45 to 2:30, with the maximum eclipse taking place at 1:05 p.m.
