🕶️ Remember that looking directly at the sun is unsafe. NASA recommends eclipse eyewear with an IOS compliance label, or standard, of 12312-2.

☀️ If you are watching the entire eclipse, you may be in direct sunlight for hours. Remember to wear sunscreen, a hat and protective clothing to prevent skin damage.

🎒 If travelling, pack an emergency kit in case you get stuck in traffic or can’t find a place to stay. Make sure to keep your gas tank full!

🌩️ Check the weather forecast ahead of time and plan accordingly.
