Have the eclipse-is-over blues? There’s a wonder-filled remedy in Griffith Park.

Space enthusiasts are gearing up for the solar eclipse and are hosting watch parties across the Southland for the special occasion. Bailey Miller reports for the NBC4 News on April 7, 2024.

The astronomical landmark is closed on Mondays, but eclipse enthusiasts can enjoy the rare event from home, courtesy of the observatory team.

Make for the landmark at local noon and/or sunset to discuss what’s up with the vernal equinox.

The afternoon event, a winter solstice tradition, will proceed if the skies clear up.

An online broadcast will give viewers at home a deeper look, while visitors to the landmark can peer, safely, through special telescopes.

You can put together then eclipse viewers at home. David Biggar and Shanna Mendiola explain how it’s done.

The lengthy route — it’s almost eight miles — can be enjoyed at your own pace for however long you like; the 6th Street Viaduct is one of the stars.

The twinkle-twinkle to-do will begin in the afternoon and extend into the evening.
