Eclipse Etiquette 101
Before you start planning your rooftop eclipse party, remember these golden rules:
- Don't stare directly at the sun. Even during an eclipse, it's like trying to stare directly at a really bright lightbulb. Your eyes will thank you later.
- Eclipse glasses are your new best friend. They're like sunglasses for your eyeballs, but way cooler.
- Don't use homemade filters. Trust us, your DIY welding mask probably won't cut it.
How to Make the Most of Your Eclipse Experience
- Find a good viewing spot: A park, rooftop, or any place with a clear view of the sky.
- Bring a friend: Share the experience with someone who won't freak out when the sky starts to darken.
- Take pictures: But remember, your phone camera might not capture the full magic.
- Relax and enjoy: It's not every day you get to witness a celestial event.
