Right this moment ― April 8, 2024 ― is the day of the Nice American Eclipse that is anticipated to cross a big span of the mainland United States.
Most of Michigan does not fall within the path of totality, however assuming skies are clear at any level inside the 2.5-hour span or so, you possibly can nonetheless see the moon crossing the solar with eclipse glasses or a protected eclipse viewer.
There’s one small sliver of Monroe County, close to Toledo, that is anticipated to be within the path of totality. This implies the world will seemingly dim and temperatures drop a couple of levels because the moon’s shadow covers the solar.
This is how Michiganders can watch the eclipse.
