On April 8th there will be total eclipse passing over the entire United States.
The eclipse will pass over many states: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. It will take several hours to pass across the U.S. with it only being visible as a total eclipse for as short as 2 minutes in many locations.
WARNINGS:
- Don’t look directly at the eclipse with the naked eye or through a camera or telescope viewfinder without appropriate eye protection.
- Photographing an eclipse without appropriate filters can cause damage to your camera.

You can use the interactive features of NASA’s Total Eclipse Map to get specific information about your location.
In Baltimore, the start of a partial eclipse will be at approximately 2:05 p.m., with the middle around 3:21 p.m. when about 88% of the amount of the sun will be covered. The eclipse will end in Baltimore around 4:33 p.m.
Today, I did an online search for protective eye equipment and filters for cameras. There appears to be good availability. Whatever you decide to do, PLEASE BE SAFE!!
