How to see the solar eclipse in Miami
Miamians will get to experience a partial solar eclipse, meaning only part of the sun will be obscured. The best place in Florida to watch the April 8 solar eclipse is in the panhandle, but Miami may still be able to catch a glimpse. The partial eclipse will cover 45% of the sun in the Miami area at its peak, reaching its peak at 3:01pm. The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science will host a full day of programming to celebrate the event. The eclipse will end at 4:13pm. Make sure to use solar eclipse glasses.
