How to watch
Never look at the Sun directly, even when most of it is covered: use eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard, a solar filter over the front of binoculars or a telescope, or a pinhole projector. Ordinary sunglasses are not safe. If the eclipse is already under way at sunrise, find a spot with a clear, low eastern horizon; if it is still going at sunset, a clear western horizon.
