Solar Eclipse

Early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the eclipse. Let's start with the facts, what is an eclipse? Well, there's different kinds of eclipses. The one we experienced this morning (June 10) was a solar eclipse. It was a partial solar eclipse, and according to Nasa that basically means - Partial solar eclipse: This happens when the Sun, Moon and Earth are not exactly aligned...

I've shared quite a bit of information about what's happening in Rockford's skies over the last month, and we're not done yet. If you feel like getting up a bit early tomorrow morning, you'll get a look at a solar eclipse.

Staring directly at the sun is never a good idea, during the eclipse, it was worse. The partial darkness made it easier but it was still a very bad idea.

The solar eclipse was an exciting view no matter where you live. Chicago meteorologist Tom Skilling was even moved to tears.

Now that the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse is over, you might be wondering what to do with your eclipse glasses. Experts say not to save them for future use.

You probably don't think that it is, but taking a selfie with the solar eclipse is a bad idea.

The eclipse is finally here. It's too late to find free glasses to see the it, good thing a few items around your house can be turned into an eclipse viewer.

So has anyone else heard that there is a solar eclipse happening on Monday? Ha ha, I kid. Let's get real. That's all anyone is talking about.

The forecast is starting to take shape for next week's solar eclipse, but will we even be able to see it in Illinois?
