Total Eclipse
Have your heard the news? There’s a solar eclipse happening on Monday. The solar eclipse will be visible across the continental United States. In Boston, viewers will see 92.55% of the sun eclipsed by the moon. See timeline below:
Partial eclipse start time: 2:16 p.m.
Peak eclipse time: 3:29 p.m.
Partial eclipse ends: 4:39 p.m.
Need last minute eclipse glass? The library is offering some while supplies last. You can also purchase them at 7-11, Home Depot and Stop + Shop.
Remember, don’t be a moron and look up at the eclipse without your safety glasses. You’ll burn your retinas out!
