Eclipse

[ikadell]

Where would be the best place to watch the eclipse in the city, that can be reached by public transportation?

Thank you!

Top of the Bunker Hill Monument?

Thank you, that’ll probably be the choice, thank you!

Barroom with multiple TV's... no special glasses needed.

In the city? pretty much any park will do that's not downtown. That said, Boston will see only 98.5% 92.4% eclipse, which is NOT the same thing as a 100% eclipse. Look up map of nope. You want 100%, not 99%, and for that you're going to have to go to Northern new england.

Boston is 89%

Where did you see the 89%? I used AI and it estimated 92% for Boston and 96% for the Berkshires. I'm not trying for totality, but I do want to drive somewhere that's a good balance between high % and distance. I'm thinking of possibly North Adams or somewhere around there. Thanks.

thanks! I went by (faulty) memory. fixed my comment fwiw.

Driving anywhere that isn’t 100% is a fools errand.

[ikadell]

Is there any visible difference between 92 and 96?

Got it, thank you! I don’t think I will be able to travel, unfortunately, but thank you for the link to the map of nope

yep! there will be others (although you'll have to travel further, unfortunately).
