Solar eclipse will peak around 3 pm today

Today’s remarkable solar eclipse will bring a path of totality to a 115-mile stretch of the U.S. from Texas to Maine. While Charleston won’t have total darkness, we will see a partial eclipse beginning at 1:55 pm and ending at 4:27 pm. The peak during the two hour and thirty two minute eclipse will be at 3:13 pm. Solar eclipse glasses are required, even for viewing a partial eclipse.
