You will not want to miss the sunset on Thursday October 23^rd. Residents across North America will be able to enjoy a crescent-shaped sunset due to a partial eclipse of the sun.

A partial eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun but does not fully cover it, leaving a section exposed.

Coverage of the sun will range from 12% in Florida to almost 70% coverage in Alaska. Make sure that you view the eclipse behind the safety of a solar filter.

Watch this video to learn more about the eclipse from our friends at NASA.
