Title: Solar Eclipse on August 21st
Post by: dixierose on June 23, 2017, 06:45:10 AM
Just in case any of you are interested, here is a link to a graphic that will show you what the eclipse will look like in your zip code. I love stuff like this. I was thinking about going to Charleston in order to catch it, but then I realized that we will be able to see a 90% eclipse down here!

I'm pumped!

Here is a map of the eclipse path:

Make sure your eyes are protected if viewing!

But viewing an eclipse can be a dangerous endeavor. That's because you shouldn't look directly at the sun. 
Luckily, there are glasses with solar filters designed to let you see the eclipse in a way that will keep your eyes from getting damaged.

Here's a cool trick.
You don't have to stare at the sun.. I just looked for 20 or 30 seconds, then when you look away the view is etched into your eyeballs.
Problem solved!
