What is it?
It’s a total solar eclipse, where the Moon totally blocks out the Sun, so that the Moon’s shadow will pass over Cleveland, Ohio for almost 4 minutes!
Day will turn into night as the bright sunshine is suddenly extinguished to a deep twilight! (For more info, see Eclipses Explained.)
I think I’ve seen one before, right?
No! Not unless you travelled! The last total solar eclipse over Cleveland was in 1806! The next one will be in the year 2444! These are very rare!
If you did see a total solar eclipse, you wouldn’t “think,” you’d know for sure! It’s an unforgettable experience!
You probably saw a lunar eclipse or a partial solar eclipse! Cleveland has had many of those over the years! (For more info about these, see Eclipses Explained.)
PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S COMING!
What will I see?
The show begins with a partial solar eclipse phase, lasting over an hour, in which the Moon steadily covers over the Sun, blocking a larger and larger percentage. The Moon’s partial shadow creeps across the landscape during this time.
Where can I see it?
The eclipse will be visible anywhere outside! Whether you're viewing from your backyard, a sidewalk, or any street corner, you will be sure to have a spectacular view! A wide open field with a clear horizon is ideal! Anywhere in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and 2/3 of the state of Ohio!
A total solar eclipse is a human experience and ought to be a social event enjoyed in the company of others. Visit The Eclipse Experience to learn about the visible phenomena and for a list of local eclipse events.
Is it safe to watch?
Yes! It is TOTALLY SAFE to look directly at the Sun during TOTAL ECLIPSE!
It is also totally safe to look at the partial eclipse phase if viewing through Eclipse Shades or another proper type of solar filter. Eclipse Shades brand solar viewing glasses have a reflective surface and are made of a special black material that blocks MOST of the Sun’s bright light, along with filtering out ALL of the infrared rays and ALL of the ultraviolet.
(Some people initially are reluctant to look at the Sun through Eclipse Shades, but once you take a look, it instantly becomes clear that Eclipse Shades are SO DARK that you really can’t see anything BUT the Sun! In addition, you can use Eclipse Shades to safely view the Sun anytime, even when there’s not an eclipse. You can sometimes see sunspots!)
You can also look at the Sun through #14 welding gfladd or view at a projected image of the Sun, but it is much cooler to view the eclipsed Sun directly and safely using Eclipse Shades!
(See The Eclipse Experience and Eclipse Misconceptions for more information on safe eclipse viewing.)
| Phase | Safe? |
