Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

10:21 a.m.

Here in Los Angeles, which is not being treated to totality, the Great American Eclipse will begin around 9:05 a.m. It will peak at 10:21 a.m., at which point the moon will briefly cover 70% of the sun's diameter and 62% of the sun's area. Here are some places to watch around L.A. (though we can assure you that Griffith Park is already beyond crowded). The eclipse will end at 11:44 a.m.
