In just three days, the moon will cross right in front of the sun, creating a total solar eclipse that will be visible from more than a dozen states.
Virginia isn’t one of those states, but in Fairfax County, an estimated 87.4% of the sun will still be blocked when the eclipse peaks around 3:20 p.m. — a bigger percentage than the 2017 event, according to the Fairfax County Park Authority.
