Guests are also welcome to watch the eclipse on their own from anywhere on the museum's 84 - acre campus
with proper eye protection, such as personal eclipse glasses.
Important to also point out that this should be treated as an eclipse, i.e. we should not look at the sun directly
without proper eye protection.
Your retina is very light - sensitive, so staring at the sun for even a short period without wearing
the proper eye protection can leave a burn on your retina.
During next month's Great American Total Solar Eclipse, you may be tempted to take in the historic event by gazing directly at the sun, but you absolutely should not do this without
the proper eye protection, experts say.
