The sun will look like this in the western sky late this afternoon…

Partial eclipses occur when the moon blocks part of the sun from view. This one begins around 5pm CT. Maximum eclipse comes at 5:57p CT as the sun is setting on the horizon. The sky should be clear.

Remember, never look at the sun with the naked eye… see this from NASA on ways of viewing this event…
