Look up – but only if you have those glasses on.
Have you heard the news? There’s a solar eclipse happening today. The solar eclipse will be visible across the continental United States. In Boston, viewers will see 92.55% of the sun eclipsed by the moon.
See the timeline below:
Partial eclipse start time: 2:16 p.m.
Peak eclipse time: 3:29 p.m.
Partial eclipse ends: 4:39 p.m.
Need last-minute eclipse glass? The library is offering some while supplies last. You can also purchase them at 7-11, Home Depot and Stop and Shop.
Can’t find the glasses?
Here are some other ways to watch it without the protective glasses! And NASA is doing a livestream of the eclipse, too! You can tune in here.
For those of you who want to make it an event
It’s a Solarbration at the Omni Boston Seaport! 🌖🌗🌘 Be sure to grab your solar eclipse viewing glasses and be part of an exclusive eclipse viewing on the Third-Floor Elevate Terrace!
Remember, don’t be a moron and look up at the eclipse without your safety glasses. You’ll burn out your retinas!
