Unlike a lunar eclipse, you'll need to wear safety glasses or take steps to otherwise protect your eyes to safely watch the solar eclipse.

There's a partial solar eclipse taking place on March 29, so prepare yourself by picking up a safe set of the best solar eclipse glasses.

Starting around 6:30 to 7 a.m. ET on Saturday, March 29, the Northeast region of the country will be treated to a partial solar eclipse. Weather and cloud cover pending, the solar eclipse means parts of Maryland, Massachusetts, Washington D.C., New York, Maine, and Pennsylvania will be privy to watching the moon pass by the sun.
