Yesterday, I was trying to find out the best time to see the total solar eclipse in Kentucky on April 8th. I was so excited about this event!
First, I checked the date and found out that it’s happening on April 8th. Then, I started looking for the time it would be visible in Kentucky. It seems like the total eclipse will start to be visible at around 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. But in Lexington, it will begin shortly before 2 p.m. Isn’t that cool?
I also found out some good spots to watch it. Kentucky Tourism recommends four places:
- Sturgis Municipal Airport in Union County
- Paducah
They are hosting viewing events, which sounds like a lot of fun! I mean, who wouldn’t want to see an eclipse at an airport?
I also learned that Paducah is considered one of the best places in Kentucky to see the eclipse. I saw some cool time-lapse graphics of what it will look like from there. It looks amazing!
It was a bit of a task to get all this information. I had to dig through a bunch of websites and piece together different bits of information. It wasn’t easy, but it was totally worth it.
Now I’m all set to enjoy the eclipse. I’m thinking of heading to Paducah. Hope it won’t be too crowded.
Oh, and I also read that the eclipse will first be visible over the South Pacific Ocean. That’s pretty far from Kentucky, but it’s interesting to know where it all begins.
In Conclusion
So, after all this digging around, I’m super pumped for April 8th. I’ve got my location picked out and I know what time to be there. Now, I just need to keep my fingers crossed for clear skies!
It’s going to be an awesome day, and I can’t wait to experience this amazing celestial event. I hope you all get a chance to see it too!
