Want To See More Of The Eclipse? Visit Century Or Hit I-65

August 20, 2017

Want to see more of Monday’s solar eclipse? Then get out of Pensacola and head to North Escambia, in particular Century where about 2 percent more of the sun will be covered.

It’s really just a small difference, but assuming the same sky conditions in both locations, it will mean Century will be 2 percent darker than downtown Pensacola.

In downtown Pensacola, a maximum of 81.42 percent of the sun will be obscured at 1:35:35 p.m. In Century,  83.42 percent of the sun will be obscured by the moon.

If you’d like to drive a little bit, head north on I-65 where the moon will cover 90 percent of the sun in Montgomery, 93 percent in Birmingham, 97 percent in Huntsville and 100 percent in Nashville.
