New Yorkers are gearing up for a once-in-a-lifetime event as a total solar eclipse is set to occur tomorrow. The eclipse, which will be visible across much of the eastern United States, is expected to attract millions of viewers to parks, rooftops, and observatories.
The city has organized special viewing events in major public spaces, including Central Park and the High Line, where telescopes and free eclipse glasses will be provided. “This is a chance for all of us to marvel at the wonders of the universe,” said astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, who will host a live-streamed viewing event.
Officials have urged residents to take precautions to protect their eyes while viewing the eclipse, emphasizing the importance of using certified solar glasses. With clear skies forecasted, the spectacle is expected to be an unforgettable experience for New Yorkers.
