~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~* On Thursday, October 23, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from most of North America. Western parts will see the full extent of the eclipse, while eastern areas will see only the very beginning before the Sun sets below the horizon. The eclipse will begin at 3:38 P.M. EDT and will end at 7:52 P.M. The times during which the eclipse is visible from any specific location will vary significantly, starting between 4:00 and 6:00 P.M. and ending 2 to 3 hours later (or, when the Sun sets). For example, in Detroit, Michigan, the eclipse will be visible from 5:40 to 6:35 P.M., when the Sun sets.
