A solar eclipse is coming to America. Here's what you'll see where you live. - Vox



This is the first eclipse in mainland US since 1979, and the first one across an entire band in the US since 1918.

Do you still go blind when you look directly at a solar eclipse?

yes unless you have really good timing.

I was planning to drive north but it's way too crowded and I'm too busy. The 21st is also VizionEck LLC's 4th birthday!

Wtf, they said miami ok was the best place to view it in the united states. But that site says i need to trave 200 miles away to get the best view.

How?

Nashville is one of the top destinations to view the eclipse so people want to see it here.

Well it's not like it's changed.  You have to get solar eclipse glasses.

I got them for free from the library

Hmm wonder if I'll need glasses here in the UK where its just about in the visible zone. I remember the last one happened when I was in college and our science department provided the filters to use, even though they weren't needed.

I think they are gone pretty much everywhere now.  Amazon is selling them for like 30$ or more.  

There was a list of like 80 sites.  I checked like the first 30, and only 2 of them had any.  
30$ a piece for one.

I think my eclipse glasses will actually be welding lens.
