Solar Eclipse, October 23, 2014 by David Marvin

So…. you will see the sky darken in most of Michigan BUT you won’t get the total eclipse:

“There is no such thing as a 99% total solar eclipse,” Dr. Rick Fienberg, Project Manager, AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force at the American Astronomical Society, said in a press briefing. “Just like there’s no such thing as being 99% pregnant — it’s all or nothing.”

More from Space.com & if you do want to see how much coverage you’ll get, check out this Freep article which lists Start time for partial eclipse in Detroit as 1:58pm, max coverage (99%) at 3:14pm, ending at 4:27pm.
