Columbus, Ohio – The astronomical event decades in the making is here, and the April 8 solar eclipse across North America is just hours away. According to experts, the event will begin with a partial solar eclipse becoming visible in central Ohio at 1:55 p.m. as the moon’s shadow begins to move across the sun.
About 75 minutes later, parts of central Ohio south of the path of totality (which runs north of Columbus from Worthington up to Lake Erie on a northeastern arc) will experience 99.6% coverage of the sun by the moon starting at 3:12 p.m, lasting for four minutes.
