A total solar eclipse will take over the skies on Monday, April 8, across parts of the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Even if space isn't your thing, this astronomical performance may be worth a watch. It'll be 21 years before Florida can spot another one. So, pencil in a block of time on Monday starting at 1:43 p.m. to go outside and catch a glimpse of the total solar eclipse. Mid-eclipse will happen around 3 p.m. when about 65% of the sun will be covered by the moon. Now that it's on your calendar, it's time to prepare to watch the spectacle in the sky without burning your eyes.
