Partial Eclipse Safety Guide | Pittsburgh News

A solar eclipse swept across the globe, with Greenland and Spain getting the full experience while most of the U.S. saw only a partial dimming—think of it as a sneak peek, not the blockbuster. Cities like Anchorage and Bangor noticed the effect, but places like Detroit and New York barely felt it. The next total coast-to-coast eclipse in the U.S. won’t happen until 2045, so if you’re craving totality now, pack your bags for a trip. The next major one visible over the U.S.? Not until August 2027—but that’ll be over North Africa and the Middle East. Safety first: never look directly at the sun—even partially covered—with regular sunglasses. Use certified eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector. Cameras and telescopes? Always pair them with proper solar filters—unfiltered devices can melt lenses and blind you. Missed it? No worries—live streams from sites like Space.com let you watch safely from home. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
