Notable locations include the Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco (Ortega branch) public libraries, though the glasses are first-come-first-serve, and library officials warn that the promotion looks to be a popular one.
Libraries around the Bay Area will also be distributing thousands of pairs to the masses, compliments of the nonprofit Space Science Institute’s StarNet initiative. The Exploratorium will have glasses available as part of the museum’s eclipse-themed programming. See what they look like in this news clip:
#HOW TO SEE THE ECLIPSE IN OREGON MOVIE#
They’re about as fashionable as the 3D glasses you might get at a movie theater, but looking at a partial eclipse without them can seriously harm your eyes. If you want to watch the celestial happenings yourself, you’ll need a pair of eclipse-viewing goggles. (That’s still enough to worry California energy regulators, who have been urging people to turn off their lights during the three-hour span of darkness.) Unless you’re planning on trekking out to the Midwest, where most of the path lies - or you’re willing to shell out $1,000 or more for an Airbnb in Oregon - you’ll have to settle for experiencing a partial eclipse. The sun over our beloved bay will never darken more than 76 percent of the way, according to Google’s eclipse simulator.
The sonification process is described below: Museum visitors will be treated to a piece of music arranged by data from the light of the sun (and by Bay Area composer Wayne Grim).
In addition to the eclipse itself, the Exploratorium will be broadcasting a “sonification” of the eclipse, as played live by the Kronos Quartet.
