Monday: The Solar Eclipse
While several people from the South Bay are heading to remote areas of the country to be in the so-called “path of totality,” those of us in Los Angeles will only be getting a partial effect of the solar eclipse. Still, don’t look directly into the sun and regular sunglasses offer no protection. The eclipse begins at 9:05 a.m., reaches its peak at 10:21 a.m., and is finished at 11:44 a.m. The total duration time is two hours, 39 minutes. Los Angeles will have a 62% partial eclipse. Griffith Park is having a free viewing party from 9 a.m.-noon.
Next Week In The Party Report
As we close in on the end of August – whaaat, already!? – it’s the final concert on the beach. Also, the Pigskin Prognosticator takes a look at what college football teams will thrive and those that will disappoint in 2017. Plus there will be a surprise or two.
