Due to the total eclipse that day, the New York Yankees stated on Thursday that they will be postponing their MLB game scheduled for April 8.

The solar eclipse is scheduled to occur in New York City between 2.11 and 4.36 p.m. E.T., with an 80-85% eclipse occurring at 3.25 p.m. E.T., according to CNN.

Fans can still enter the stadium starting at 3 p.m. Eastern Time, and the first 15,000 to arrive will receive a complimentary Yankees solar eclipse t-shirt.

Before the final total solar eclipse to occur in the US until 2044, eclipse fever has swept the nation. When the moon totally obscures the sun’s face as it moves between Earth and the sun, it is known as a total solar eclipse.

The eclipse’s totality path passes through a number of US states, as well as certain areas of Canada and Mexico.

A total solar eclipse will occur where the moon’s shadow fully obscures the sun, which is known as the path of totality. A partial solar eclipse, in which the moon just partially obscures the sun’s face, can still be seen by those who are not in the path of totality.

Even if you can only see a partial solar eclipse from where you are, portion of the sun’s intense light will always be visible. Furthermore, it is not only uncomfortable but also dangerous to catch a glimpse of the sun’s brightness with the unaided eye.

Experts emphasize that if you want to observe the eclipse and prevent long-term damage, you should wear custom eclipse glasses because staring directly into the sun’s glare can be dangerous.

Since certified eclipse glasses are held to an international safety standard and are 100,000 times darker than conventional sunglasses, they should be used to see the eclipse instead of regular sunglasses. You can also utilize a handheld solar viewer.

According to The Planetary Society, black polymer, or resin loaded with carbon particles, is used to make the lenses of solar eclipse glasses. This resin filters almost all visible, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation. Sunglasses cannot stop infrared light.
