Byron Mathews from Cheyenne City and Fire Rescue stopped by the morning show to give us some advice on what you can do to make sure you are prepared for the total solar eclipse.
The solar eclipse will sweep through Nebraska later this month, and some professors and institutions see it as an opportunity to teach students about astronomy, space and science.
On Monday August, 21 the library will be having a delayed open. They will be opening up at 2 in the afternoon because of the Solar Eclipse block party they are throwing.
With the Eclipse a few weeks away, a lot of questions about eye care are coming up. Some think that because the sun will be covered it's okay to look at it. However you can still damage your eyes that way.
