Q&A: What time will the eclipse occur in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday?


Question by jeannie: What time will the eclipse occur in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday?
I've tried figuring it out but all the charts I can find show the totality in Utah, which isn't gonna happen here. So what I need to know is what time do me and my camera need to be ready - PDT? I'm thinking the partial eclipse will occur around sunset, but I'd hate to be wrong.

Thanks.


Best answer:
Answer by campbelp2002The partial solar eclipse will occur late in the day in Southern California on Sunday, beginning at 5:24 p.m., reaching its maximum coverage at 6:38 p.m., and exiting the sun's path at 7:42 p.m., just 10 minutes before sunset. "That means the sun is fairly low in the northwest, and you want a clear view of the northwest horizon," said Griffith Observatory director Ed Krupp.
