Accepted Answer

Use the location check on this page for your local start, maximum and end times and how much of the Sun is covered. Solar eclipses are only visible from within a specific ground track.

Question 3

How do I watch a solar eclipse safely?

Accepted Answer

Never look at the Sun without certified solar-eclipse glasses or a proper solar filter — even during a partial eclipse. Only during the brief total phase (if you're on the path of totality) is it safe to look with the naked eye.
