A total solar eclipse will be taking place this Thursday, April 20th, from 11:05 AM to 12:47 PM, lasting for an estimated 1 hour and 42 minutes.
The eclipse will be at its maximum at 11:55 AM.
However, always be mindful to take the necessary precautions when viewing a solar eclipse by wearing solar viewers as viewing the sun directly can cause eclipse blindness, or in other words, solar retinopathy.
