Only certain parts of the country will get the total effect, but almost everyone is going to see something today. NASA put together a series of maps detailing which states  will have the best views. The University of Georgia  campus will have a 99% eclipse, heres what they are doing to prepare. DONT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE ECLIPSE, DUH You gotta have the right glasses! (Image via YouTube) As your Mom has probably already texted you about 10 times, Dont look at the Eclipse. Be careful you dont want to go blind! (Sun emoji, sunglasses emoji, heart emoji). But shes right, the sun can cook your eyes.   That means you need some special glasses, which are selling like crazy. Any on your campus? The Eclipse is causing millions of people to travel to get a good view. About 12 million people live directly in the path of totality; experts estimate they could be joined by about 7.4 million people traveling to watch the eclipse. That could make for some serious traffic and clogged cellular networks reports FiveThirtyEight. And it could cause some serious problems for first responders. Be safe out there today. And if all seems like a lot of work, Fast Company has 10 ways you can stream the eclipse from your computer or phone.
