The “once in a lifetime” solar eclipse is finally upon us, and even though Bushwick and the rest of NYC are not in the path of totality where the moon completely blots out the sun, we will still feel some of the eclipse’s effects over 500 miles away from the path of the eclipse.
Here in our neck of the woods, we will experience a partial solar eclipse which will obscure 71.5 percent of the sun. It will start at around 1:20 p.m. and at least some part of the sun will be obscured through nearly 4:00 p.m. The peak of the eclipse will happen at 2:45:06 p.m. If you’ll be at work and want to calculate the specific peak for your work ZIP code, consult this handy tool on Vox.
