Nevadans will not see a total solar eclipse on April 8, but we will see some of it. The eclipse is expected to cross through the middle of America, stretching 13 states from Texas to New York.
During the eclipse, the sun will be completely obscured by the moon.
According to UNLV Professor Jason Steffen, most of Nevada will see the same thing, "just delayed by about 10 minutes."
If you look up between 10:45 and 11:45 a.m. that day, you'll see a partial eclipse where the moon will block just under half of the sun, Steffen said. Totality will be short, but the partial eclipse is much longer.
"One easy way to observe it is to take a colander (the food strainer) outside and to look at the shadow it casts as the Sun passes through the holes. It needs to have circular holes, but the result is several images of the eclipse —and no blindness," he said.
