Today, our community will experience a once-in-a-lifetime event: a total solar eclipse! 🌑🌞 The last total solar eclipse in Syracuse was in 1925, and the next one is in 2399. Follow these important safety guidelines to keep your eyes safe during a total solar eclipse. 👓 - View the Sun through eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer during the partial eclipse phases before and after totality. - View the eclipse directly without eye protection when the Moon completely obscures the Sun’s bright face – during the brief and spectacular period known as totality. (You’ll know it’s safe when you can no longer see any part of the Sun through eclipse glasses or a solar viewer.) - As soon as you see even a little bit of the bright Sun reappear after totality, immediately put your eclipse glasses back on or use a handheld solar viewer to look at the Sun.
