On January 24, for the first time in many years, a total eclipse of the sun will be visible in the eastern section of the United States. In Woodstock the eclipse will be from 90 to 95 per cent complete.
The visibility of the eclipse will depend upon weather conditions on that day. The shadow of the moon is calculated to remain upon some part of the surface of the sun for two hours and 20 minutes.
The eclipse first will be visible here at 8 a. m. it will reach its middle point at 9:10 a. m, and will end at 10:20 a. m. The town will be darkened by the eclipse.
While the prominences and corona will not be visible in this section, it undoubtedly will become very dark here. Chickens will return to roost and automobiles will need lights on the streets. It probably will be about as dark as it usually is 20 minutes after sunset.
