Solar Eclipse Today - Will You Be Watching It in Person?

Tweet

Today is the much talked about solar eclipse. Not everyone will be able to see it in person because of where they live or because they don't have those special solar eclipse glasses. But is that such a big deal to see it with your own eyes? Is it a big disappointment if you don't catch it in person as it happens? I am not so sure. I live in NYC, which is not in the direct path of the solar eclipse, so mostly likely I won't get to catch it in person. I also don't have those special glasses. I wasn't going to waste money on that. I will be watching the solar eclipse as it happens live on television from the comfort of my own couch. I will try to look out the window though, so I can catch the brief total darkness during the day. There was so much hype leading up to this historic event, especially when it comes to the warnings telling us not to look at the solar eclipse directly without those solar eclipse glasses. Or the alternatives to them. I bet someone out there is swimming in riches right now from all this hype. Did you get those solar eclipse glasses? Will you be watching the solar eclipse in person? Or will you stick to the television or Internet to catch it?
