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.

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.

Answer by GnomonYou'll need to find out the diameter of Phobos, assume it is spherical, work out the area of the disc, how far it is from the surface when directly overhead, what its size is expressed as an angle, then do the same for the sun.
