The Big Apple's Near Miss
Don't get us wrong, we're excited for our friends upstate who are about to experience a few minutes of twilight in the middle of the day. But for us city dwellers? We're getting a partial eclipse.

What to Expect: A Solar Snack, Not a Feast
So, what can we expect? Well, the sun will look like someone took a big bite out of it. Like, a really big bite. About 89% big. It'll be cool, sure, but don't expect to see any shadows dancing or weird animal behavior. Our birds will probably just keep tweeting about how expensive rent is.
Eclipse Watching 101 (for the Impatient)
- Get those glasses ready: You absolutely, positively need special eclipse glasses. Don't even think about using sunglasses or homemade filters. Your eyes are precious, people!
- Find a good spot: Parks are usually a good bet. Just make sure you have a clear view of the sky. And bring snacks. Always bring snacks.
- Don't stare: Even with the glasses on, don't stare directly at the sun for extended periods. Blink, look away, repeat. Your eyes will thank you.
