On Monday, millions of people across the United States will be able to see the total solar eclipse, the last chance to see one in North America for 21 years.

The eclipse will mainly sweep across the United States from Maine to Texas, passing through major cities such as Dallas, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Burlington. Thousands will be traveling to these cities to be in the path of totality. 

While Santa Barbara isn’t in the path of totality, residents will be able to see the eclipse at 55%. The partial eclipse will begin at 10:06 a.m., reach its 55% maximum at 11:11 a.m., and then end at 12:19 p.m.

The weather forecast is for sunny, clear skies in Santa Barbara County.

Just like it did in October, the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit is hosting a free public viewing party in Goleta with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Camino Real Marketplace, solar telescopes and eclipse glasses will be available to view the eclipse safely. Glasses will cost $4.59, and all proceeds will go to the museum.
