The Incredible Moment When Rhode Island Will Go Dark That Will Go Down In History

If you’ve seen the images outlining where the total solar eclipse will fall this August, you’ve probably expected Rhode Island to be completely out of the path. Fear not! We’re not going to miss all of the fun. We the people of Rhode Island will get to experience some of the amazing sight right from home as a partial eclipse. Wow!

The Great American eclipse will span the US from Portland, Oregon to Charlestown, South Carolina on August 21st.

Those in the direct path will experience the full eclipse, while many of us Americans will still witness a partial effect.
This will be the first full solar eclipse in decades and people are pretty excited about it.

We won't see another one for many years to come.
One of the most striking things about the eclipse this year is that it will occur in the middle of the day!

For a few moments a lot of the nation will have a full blackout right in the middle of their work day.
Be sure to step outside in Rhode Island between approximately 1:30 and 4:00 pm to see the eclipse come and go.

If you don't have the whole day especially look outside around 2:30 to witness the maximum eclipse in our small state.

This is going to be such a bizarre and amazing day! Where will you catch the eclipse from in the state?
