Experience a Moment Not to Miss - The Eclipse
What’s happening on April 8 from 3:13 to 3:17 PM?
Alex Trebek, the classic jeopardy host, who sadly passed on November 8, 2020 might answer, “When is the total eclipse!?” And right here in Cleveland we’re directly in the path of the free celestial light show. All you need is a comfortable chair, your favorite beverage, and some special glasses.
Wait. Where can I find those? While’s it’s true that our local NASA Glen gift shop has sold out, you can still grab a $2 pair for the galactic party from the Cleveland Metroparks.
GLASSES FROM CLEVELAND METROPARKS
The Cleveland Metroparks are selling eclipse glasses with their own local design -- which you can buy online HERE . You can also find them in the following stores starting, Thursday, Feb. 1:
- North Chagrin Nature Shop

Of course, the biggest risk to all of this is that you might fall asleep after lunch. However, that’s what our award-winning Right at Home caregivers specialize in, personalized interaction and companionship, so that you never miss the moments that are most important, like weddings and eclipses .
You can reserve a free consultation to discuss personalized homecare by calling, our Cleveland East offices at 216-752-2222
So? What’s it going to look like?
Here is a photo of the moon covering the sun during the last total solar eclipse. Buzz Lightyear will be quick to quote Stephen Hawking (who sadly passed from ALS after viewing the last eclipse) that unlike in 2017, when the sun was waning low, this time around our star is nearing MAXIMUM BURN in its solar cycle, which means we could see many more energized particle beams from the corona firing, flaring and zapping into outer space.
Before you book your tickets to the Cleveland Orchestra, which is playing at Cleveland’s Science Center’s Eclipse Festival for G-d‘s curtain call on April 8, you may want to keep in mind that 99% of the US population will be able to see at least part of the show, and Cleveland frequently experiences tons of cloud cover. After all, we are right on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie. So maybe grab some sunscreen and head for Bandera, in the Texas badlands? Just don’t blame Right At Home or WKYC weather maven Hollie Strano if you miss it - the likes of this eclipse won’t be seen again until 2099.
