While Minnesota is not in the path of totality that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a huge solar event on Monday. We can see the first total eclipse since 1979. The solar eclipse is happening from around 10 am in Oregon until almost 3 pm in South Carolina. At the longest point the sun will be blotted out for 2:48 minutes over Illinois. In Minnesota the maximum viewing time is 1:06 pm. We will have an 80% partial view. Remember you can't look directly at the solar eclipse so many people make or buy viewers.
