So here’s your plan: Step one, look up your local time. Step two, find your eclipse glasses (or craft a cereal-box projector). Step three, stand outside with your neighbors, who will all be doing the exact same awkward sky-gazing dance. Step four, prepare to be mildly terrified and profoundly amazed.
And remember: if anyone asks, “What time is the eclipse today?” just smile, point at the sky, and say, “Whenever you’re ready to witness the moon high-fiving the sun.” You’re welcome.
