What time is the solar eclipse in chicago Il on 1st august ?

Question

and how dangerous is it ... ?

Answer 1

Beginning of the general eclipse 03:04:06

Beginning of the total eclipse 04:21:07

Beginning of the central eclipse 04:24:10

Greatest eclipse 5:21:08

End of the central eclipse 6:18:29

End of the total eclipse 6:21:28

End of the general eclipse 7:38:27

These are the appropriate times.  The eclipse will never be total in Chicago, however.  Also it's not worth trying to look before 5:45, since that's when the sunrise is.
