"Locating Eclipse Glasses and Watch Parties in the DC Area"

On April 8, a total solar eclipse will be visible in the United States, with D.C. experiencing 89% coverage. It's crucial to use approved eclipse glasses to avoid eye damage. Free glasses are available at D.C. Public Libraries and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, while watch parties in Maryland and Virginia will also provide glasses. Other options include making a projector or purchasing glasses from retailers like Warby Parker. If the weather is unfavorable, NASA will stream the eclipse live.
