"The Timing of the Darkest Moment in the Central Valley Eclipse"
The last total eclipse crossing the United States for the next 20 years will occur on April 8, with the Central Valley experiencing a partial eclipse. The eclipse will be at its maximum point in various Central Valley locations around 11 a.m., and residents are encouraged to use proper eyecare, such as solar viewing glasses, when observing the event. Local libraries in Fresno are offering free solar viewing glasses while supplies last, and NASA recommends using specialized eclipse filters for smartphone photography.
