If you're going to watch the total solar eclipse on April 8, you've probably done some rabbit-hole research about solar eclipse glasses. In fact, maybe that research extended to the path of totality itself as you tried finding your ideal vantage point under the sky. If you're anything like me, perhaps you've also been psyching yourself out by considering how this event will be a pretty existential one. A total eclipse of the sun will force us to remember that the sun is indeed a star hanging in our sky, and that the moon and Earth are two accidental orbs stuck in a perpetual waltz around it. What a warm, and unsettling, concept to consider.
Either way, when the big day finally arrives, I personally would not be opposed to settling in with a drink — a bubbly little bevvy to toast the sun, the moon and my extensive solar eclipse research. Thus, I have some good news.
