Monday is a significant day for a lot of people as they flock to the best locations in the US to see the eclipse.
Plan ahead as hotels have been booked for months. Also have a pair of special glasses to view it. I've read articles about people losing their eyesight because they haven't used them. Even if you share the goggles between a few of you, you will be glad you got a pair.Best Buy, Kroger, Walmart and Lowes are selling the special glasses.
How can I see the eclipse if I don't have eclipse glasses?
Since it's not safe to look at the eclipse without protecting your eyes, the AAS has also provided alternative ways to view the eclipse.
Fienberg notes that finding a tree with sunlight shining through the leaves will project an image of the sun, and the eclipse, on the ground. Looking at the ground while holding up a colander can have the same effect.
Another option is to catch one of the many live streams of the eclipse. This can be particularly useful for anyone who isn't in the path of totality.
Stay safe and enjoy this special event.
