OF THE SUN COVERED

Almost all of the Sun goes. The light weakens and cools noticeably, shadows sharpen, and the temperature drops — but it does not get dark, and the remaining sliver is still blinding.

THE EXPERIENCE

What it will actually be like

With 98.7% of the Sun covered the light noticeably weakens and cools, shadows grow sharp-edged, and the temperature drops. Gaps between leaves project rows of crescents onto the ground. The Sun remains dangerous to look at throughout.

SAFETY

Looking at it without hurting yourself

A certified solar filter stays on for the whole eclipse. The Sun is never completely covered here, and what remains is as dangerous to look at as an uneclipsed Sun. Sunglasses are not a filter.

FILTER ON06:28 → 08:33 · the entire eclipse

Sunglasses, smoked glass, exposed film and phone screens are not filters. If you can see anything else through it, it is not dark enough.
