The local area will receive about 90 seconds of darkness in the middle of the day Monday during the solar eclipse. Between 11:40 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Basehor-Linwood students will be able to view the eclipse with classmates. Maximum eclipse darkness will take place around 1:08 p.m. with more than 99 percent totality.
The last total solar eclipse in the area took place in 1806 and the next will be in 2205.
With a local total eclipse of the sun being a once in a lifetime event, students at Basehor’s Glenwood Ridge Elementary School are making plans to mark the occasion and learn the science behind the unique event.
Teachers at Glenwood Ridge will be wearing black or an eclipse…
