Total solar eclipse coming

On August 21, 2017, all eyes will be on the sky as millions across the United States look up to see the first total solar eclipse since 1918. It is set to happen locally at 2:45 p.m. If you plan to watch, you need to be prepared. Looking directly at the sun, even when it is partially eclipsed, can cause serious and permanent eye damage. Special eclipse glasses can protect your eyes.
