  1. I live in central Texas….will my grandsons and I be able to see any of it???

    1. You will be able to see a partial eclipse. Depending on where in Texas you are, you will see between a 65 and 80% eclipse. The further north, the closer to totality you will see. Make sure you have the proper safety equipment before viewing the eclipse.

  2. New albany, ms USA. What is the optimal time to view?
    I saw one in the 70’s while in grade school.
    Would love to share with my associates at work.

    1. You’re going to be in the 90% totality area so you should get a good show between 1:15 PM and 1:45 PM Central Time according to NASA’s map. Be ready a bit early and plan to stay a little late. It’s a rare event. If you can make the drive to Nashville, you will experience a 100% total solar eclipse. Might just be worth a day off!
