On Monday, the US will get to see a solar eclipse.
Those who live along or have traveled to the 70-mile-wide streak of totality will get see the moon completely block out the sun's light as it crosses between the Earth and the sun (weather permitting).
The rest will be treated to a partial eclipse, where the moon blocks out a portion of the sun. Regardless of the view, a solar eclipse is a rare event to observe - and one that should never been seen by looking directly at the sun without protection.
Solar-eclipse glasses that allow you to view the event safely have sold out over the past few weeks. If you weren't able to snag a pair, you're not out of luck. Here are some ways to watch the eclipse without special glasses.
