Partial solar eclipse: Happening Now

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Today is your final chance this year to catch the partial solar eclipse, which is happening now through early evening. In fact, people across North America will be treated to the event.

You can watch the partial solar eclipse on Griffith Observatory's live stream page.

At 2:07 p.m. PT, the moon began to block the sun and will gradually build to its height at 3:27 p.m. PT. The event ends at 4:39 p.m. PT.

You must wear protective eye gear when viewing a solar eclipse. Otherwise, it can cause permanent eye damage.
