2024 is going to bring us the last total solar eclipse until August 2044.

This will be a day we don't want to miss.  I still have memories of seeing the eclipse with my dad from Fairmont Hot Springs with one of those special viewing boxes we made in school.

What Is A Total Solar Eclipse?

It's when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the face of the sun.

When Is The Total Solar Eclipse?

From Science Nasa: (Isn't all of Nasa Science?)

What Can I Use To View The Total Solar Eclipse?

• Solar Viewing Glasses (eclipse glasses)
• Safe Solar viewers
• Indirect viewing method

My Sunglasses Are Really Dark So They'll Work, Right?

No.  Eclipse Glasses are not like regular sunglasses no matter how dark they are, you should still not look directly into the sun.  This link has the viewers Nasa recommends.  You will NOT see Amazon or any other online vendors here because they sold fake eclipse products in 2017, putting people and their eye sight in jeopardy.

What Is A Safe Solar Viewer?

Again, Nasa has a recommendation list, click here.

Is There Any Other Way To Safely View The Eclipse?

Yes, if you don't have access to a solar viewer or eclipse glasses, you can use an indirect viewing method.  It can be as simple as viewing the eclipse on the ground through your colander.  Click here for easy suggestions for indirect viewing.
