A partial solar eclipse is set to occur on Saturday, but there is a possibility of clouds in some areas. The eclipse will be visible in the southeastern United States, with the peak expected around 1:15 pm. If there are no clouds, the area will experience 40-47% "totality." The National Science Foundation's Lisa Winter will be taking over their Twitter account on October 11 to explain the science of solar eclipses. In Las Vegas, conditions are looking good for viewing the eclipse, but eclipse glasses are necessary. The eclipse will also be visible in other parts of the country, with the moon partially obscuring the sun at max eclipse. It is advised to use certified eclipse glasses or purchase new ones for safe viewing.
For viewing the solar eclipse Saturday, but sure you have the right eclipse glasses! https://t.co/TTnkx7Yxve
Conditions looks favorable for the viewing of the annular solar eclipse this Saturday morning. A few high clouds, but nothing more at this point. Enjoy! @News3LV #WeatherAuthority #nvwx #Vegas #Vegasweather #AnnularEclipse #annularsolareclipse https://t.co/9IHDzeGR7A

REMINDER! A partial solar eclipse occurs Saturday but you probably won’t notice it unless you have special eclipse glasses! The sun is so bright that even at max eclipse when 41% of the sun is covered, there will be hardly any dimming. If you have your eclipse glasses from 2017,… https://t.co/EP9DpZ47FP https://t.co/AqGuE6bMg2
Dig out those certified eclipse glasses from 2017, or buy some new ones. …. You’ll need them to view this Saturday’s partial annular eclipse! …. The moon will partially obscure the sun (~50%) at max eclipse, which will occur at 1:13PM. …. Clouds may make visibility tough. https://t.co/3CRLREl5Ox

Partial solar eclipse visible in the SE US Saturday Oct 14. At peak (~1:15 pm) our area will see 40-47% "totality" 𝙞𝙛 it's not cloudy. If the expected cold front passes early enough, carrying clouds with it, we have a chance. 🤞https://t.co/s9Xp4yDbyr https://t.co/LxVNDJrLpt
REMINDER: A partial solar eclipse is happening Saturday. You need approved eclipse glasses to safely view it. Unfortunately, clouds are looking like a good possibility for our area Saturday. https://t.co/iPHxlt3SRI
