What To Do
🌒 Before the Eclipse
Scout the perfect viewing spot: Choose an area with a clear view of the sky and minimal light pollution.
Check the weather: Clouds can spoil the show, so have a backup location nearby.
Get your gear ready: Bring eclipse glasses, a camera with a solar filter, binoculars, or a telescope if you have one.
Set up early: Arrive at least an hour ahead to settle in, enjoy the pre-eclipse energy, and avoid last-minute rushes.
🌑 During the Eclipse
Wear proper eye protection: Never look directly at the sun without certified eclipse glasses or a solar viewer.
Notice the changing light: Watch how shadows sharpen, temperatures drop, and nature reacts — birds may go quiet, and crickets might chirp.
Capture the moment: Take photos (with proper filters) or record the reactions of those around you — sometimes that’s even more magical.
Share the experience: Join others in watching — communities often host eclipse parties, viewing events, or live streams.
Stay present: During totality (if it occurs where you are), take a few moments to simply look up and be still. It’s one of nature’s most humbling sights.
