AT&T's Solar Eclipse Viewing Tips for Baltimore Residents
Don't miss this once in a lifetime event
For most, Monday’s solar eclipse will be a once in a lifetime opportunity. It will be the first total solar eclipse to cross the continental United States coast to coast in nearly 100 years. While Baltimore will not be in the path of totality, where the moon will completely cover the sun, residents will still be treated to an impressive partial eclipse.
To help ensure you don’t miss out on the biggest celestial event of the century, AT&T has put together a few tips to help improve your viewing experience:
NASA Eclipse Countdown: Want to know everything there is about the solar eclipse? NASA created a website, which is accessible on any smartphone, to help guide you through the celestial event. On their website, you will find a live stream of the eclipse, an interactive eclipse map, a list of official eclipse events across the country, eclipse science and education activities, such as making a solar viewing projector or a 3D printable pinhole projector, eclipse art projects and much more.
