KNOW THE ZONE — On April 8, between noon and 4 p.m., the earth’s moon will completely eclipse the sun for about four minutes over any given location in its path. For Arkansas, this will mean a shadow approximately 118 miles wide, stretching from the southwest corner of the state to its northwest corner. The shadow is expected to begin near DeQueen at 1:46 p.m., CDT, and exit the state at about 2:00 p.m. near Pocahantas, according to the Arkansas Department of Transportation. (Graphic courtesy ArDOT.)
