The Solar Eclipse is the must-see event of 2017, but watch it from the safety of your computer with no risk of going blind.
The Solar Eclipse is a must-see event in the United States and is the first total solar eclipse viewed from the United States since 1979.
But only 12 states are in the path of the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse and if you live outside of those states you won’t be able to see it. Or, if you’re in an area that is overcast, or your boss won’t let you outside to witness this piece of natural history.
But don’t worry, there are plenty live streams of the total eclipse so you can watch safely from the comfort of your home without the risk of blindness.
