Recommendations:
- Don’t miss it. 99.99 per cent isn’t enough. Only 100 per cent is enough to see the spectacle in its entirety and for it to last at least 30 seconds.
- Get your eclipse glasses or find out how to view the eclipse indirectly as soon as possible. Otherwise, there may be local shortages, even if not on a large scale. Even if the eclipse isn’t 100 per cent total in your region, if you want to see the partial eclipse, you’ll need eclipse glasses. No other method of direct viewing is safe. None.
- Go to your viewing spot at least the day before and make sure you’re prepared with enough food and water. Do not drive during the two hours the eclipse is taking place, even if you’re not interested in the eclipse. There is a high risk of drivers becoming distracted.
- Check the weather forecast.
- Watch the eclipse from outside urban areas if you’re going to see totality, as streetlights may come on during this phase. Check that there are no obstacles in your line of sight.”
