On Monday, April 8, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from Connecticut, reaching its peak at 3:28 p.m. Although only 92% of the sun will be obscured for CT viewers at the event’s height, many in northern New England will experience total darkness along the eclipse’s direct path.
JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) - With just days left until the April 8 solar eclipse, organizations and groups are preparing to host viewing events in Mississippi.

Stars will become visible, street lights could turn on, and the temperature will drop. [.]
