The exact time depends on where you live, because the universe has a sick sense of humor and refuses to sync everyone’s watches. For the United States East Coast, the main action usually starts around 2:00 PM local time, hits maximum darkness near 3:30 PM, and wraps up by 4:30 PM. If you’re on the West Coast, shift everything back by three hours—so start looking up around 11:00 AM, peak at 12:30 PM, done by 1:30 PM.
But here’s the kicker: if you live in Greenland, you’re basically the VIP of this cosmic show, while folks in Australia are probably fast asleep. Check your local astronomy app or, I dunno, ask a crow—they seem to know.
