After 3 decades spent in the sunny (and humid) South Florida media world, Jeff has traveled to across the country to partake in the delights of The Beehive State.
RICHFIELD, Utah — The moment in the sun... and out of the sun... has arrived for Utah as the much-awaited annular solar eclipse makes its way across the sky Saturday morning.
Thousands of people have descended upon the Beehive State as Utah is one of the few places in the country where the eclipse can be seen. Although the southern and central portions of the state will get the full eclipse effect, it will be at about 90 percent in northern areas.The last time the U.S. had a solar eclipse of this magnitude was in 2017.
Remember, staring at a solar eclipse not in totality could cause damage to the eye. Regular sunglasses also are insufficient for looking at solar eclipses. NASA says solar eclipse glasses should be marked with ISO 12312-2 on them to confirm they are safe for usage during a solar eclipse.
