April 8: Eyes on the skies for a total solar eclipse
We're getting closer to the next total solar eclipse for North America, which is happening on April 8.
We won't see a total eclipse in North Carolina, but lots of people will travel to take it in! Ohio will be the closest spot to drive to from Raleigh for the path of totality.
In Raleigh we'll only see a partial eclipse starting just before 2 p.m. We'll see the maximum effect at approximately 3:15 p.m.
There will unfortunately be some obstruction to those hoping to see the eclipse. It is expected to be overcast in many of the areas in the path of the eclipse.
