If you plan to watch the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, make sure you are prepared with eclipse glasses. You can not safely watch the eclipse with regular sunglasses. You’ll immediately and permanently injure your eyes.
The eclipse will be a partial eclipse in the Triangle. The moon will take a big “bite” out of the sun, but a sliver will still be visible. It will take place from around 1:57 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the peak, during which 80% of the sun will be blocked, around 3:15 p.m. The exact time and percentage of the sun that will be obscured, will vary depending on your specific location.
We’ll need eye protection any time we’re looking toward the sun. Another option is to look at the eclipse indirectly. Learn how to make a pinhole viewer out of materials you already have around the house.
