Feelin' GuruVee Fascination!

Our next "magic in the sky" event is a partial solar eclipse on Thursday, October 23rd beginning in Milwaukee at 4:34 PM and concluding at 6:42 PM CDT
(see below from: http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/usa/milwaukee)

The Moon will cover part of the sun as the central part of the Moon's shadow (umbra) misses the Earth during a partial solar eclipse.  
There are no other locations on Earth where the Sun appears completely covered during this event.
