"Pittsburgh Prepares for Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Events"

With the total solar eclipse approaching, Pittsburgh is gearing up for viewing events at locations such as The Carnegie Science Center, the Allegheny Observatory, and the Children's Museum, as the eclipse is set to begin at 2 p.m. and end at 4:30 p.m., with the maximum occurring at 3:17 p.m. While Pittsburgh will experience a 97% blockage of the sun, it's important to never look directly at the sun and to use proper eye protection, such as solar eclipse glasses, which can be found at some GetGos for free if they are still available.
