(Atlantic, Iowa) A partial solar eclipse will be viewable in Atlantic this afternoon (assuming there is no cloud cover), beginning at 12:41-p.m., with the maximum coverage available (through protective glasses) at 1:56-p.m. Never look directly at the Sun. You can seriously hurt your eyes, and even go blind. Proper eye protection, like eclipse glasses or a special solar filter, is the only safe option. Sunglasses don’t work.

The event will end at 3:11-p.m. (total time: 2-hours and 30-minutes).
