You can also use a couple of pieces of paper and watch the eclipse through a pinhole. There are lots of variations. All are cool.

If you think about it, we non-astronomers don't really observe the sun by watching it. We understand it through its light and shadows.

This is what traffic is going to look like trying to get to the observatory on Monday in LA. Don't do it.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/898306455434022912 …

California uses a lot of solar energy; that power will be reduced on Monday due to the eclipse.It's actually an environmental justice issue.
-
When solar and/or wind energy is down, we have to rely on other sources of energy. Hydro energy's an option, given that the drought is over.
-
That probably won't be enough. California will likely have to increase its use of natural gas energy. Guess where are those plants located?
-
A lot of those natural gas plants are in communities of color. Disproportionate burden and what not.... including during the eclipse.
-
California's public utilities commissions is asking people to reduce their energy use on Monday, but so far only 639 people have pledged :/
-
I care about poc's disproportionate burden so I pledged not to charge my electronics during the eclipse. Join me: https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/form/page.aspx?id=1 …pic.twitter.com/P2IFbCjLP2

It won't cost you anything. And I'm *positive* thousands of you have a minute to spare to take this eclipse pledge: https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/form/page.aspx?id=1 …

It's wild to me that environmental journalists haven't written about this. Bound to happen when you don't hire black/native/latinx writers.pic.twitter.com/EB6nCbZu0P

Gah-- you should maybe tell people to not look *at* the sun through these holes, but away from the sun.

I was talking to my teenager about watching with me. I told him it started around 11. He asked "a.m. or p.m.?"
