It was designated by a 1996 state law.

I thought this morning I’d start the blog with a look at the heavens above as something cool should happen on Sunday around here, and while we’ll be on the fringe of a solar eclipse the timing of it may provide photographers with some great pictures.

Of course all this is weather/cloud dependent, and there is and increasing chance of us having more clouds in the area to finish the weekend, and even the potential of some storms to move in wither on Sunday or next Monday.

There will be a partial solar eclipse occurring later on Sunday. We will be able to see it in the KC area, although it will not be a total eclipse here, since it will be occurring near sunset it still might be pretty cool. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. The moon blocks the sun’s light and casts a shadow on the earth’s surface.
