The total solar eclipse across the US is bringing in a lot of viewing parties across Southern California.
While the best views of the eclipse be in the Pacific Northwest and the southeastern United States.
In Oregon, the sun will be entirely hidden behind the moon beginning at 10am and will continue for the next 90 minutes.
The last total solar eclipse over the US was visible in the northwest part of the country in February 1979.
NASA says after the August 21 one, the next eclipse will happen in April 2024.
For those of us here in SoCal, we will get the partially shaded area, with about 60 percent of the sun in shade.
NBC compiled a great list of some of the places offering viewing parties;
Griffith Observatory: Organizers expect "very large crowds" for a free public viewing of Monday's solar eclipse. It's scheduled for 9:05 a.m. to 11:44 a.m., the time of the eclipse. The observatory will have solar telescopes available staffed by employees and volunteers to provide safe viewing. Special glasses will be available for purchase at the Stellar Emporium gift shop. Visitors were also urged to wear a hat, sunscreen and walking shoes and to bring water, as they may need to walk uphill to get to the observatory. If parking becomes full on Monday, vehicle access to the park via the Vermont Avenue and Fern Dell gates will be suspended. Visitors are encouraged to take the DASH Observatory bus from Metro's Vermont/Sunset Red Line station, which will run earlier than usual on Monday.
University of California Riverside: The UCR Department of Physics & Astronomy will be hosting the eclipse viewing party adjacent to the campus Bell Tower, beginning about 10 a.m. Monday. Using the filtered telescopes, viewers can watch as the moon blocks the sun.
LA State Historic Park, downtown Los Angeles: National Park Service rangers will be at the park, starting at 8:30 a.m. for a hike to the new Gateway to Nature center in El Pueblo. Or, just come straight to the downtown LA park during the eclipse.
