BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The Total Solar Eclipse, or the Great American Eclipse as we like to call it, is happening in the United States April 8 and it will be a very rare event. So rare, it won’t happen again until 2044. We will still need eye protection to view the eclipse over Alabama, with 80% to 90% blockage, but it is still an incredible experience. A rare moment in time, a rare moment for new understanding.
