Monday, August 21 will be a special day in the United States as Americans encounter the Great American Solar Eclipse. While a long, but narrow, swath of the country will experience a Total Solar Eclipse / Total Eclipse of the Sun, the entire country will experience a Partial Solar Eclipse / Partial Eclipse of the Sun, weather-permitting. So everyone needs to be aware of the dangers of directly viewing the Eclipse, but also the ways to safely experience this remarkable astronomical event.
