The Solar Eclipse on Sunday: Will Your City Be Able to See It?

A yawning black hole opening up in the dead center of the sun is on the bill for Sunday, May 20... if you're lucky enough to live where you can see it.

The stunning solar eclipse will develop in the United States around 5:30 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time. The eclipse is flying in from China and will disappear over Texas as the sun sets. And yes, I know all this is going down when Road Trip: Beer Pong is on TBS, but this astral orb-party really is worth uncovering the shades for a few minutes (but don't look directly at it, dingus: take these precautions to avoid "eye suicide").
