The eclipse will begin in Mexico, cross into the U.S. at Texas and then work northeast to Maine and into Canada.The optimal viewing time will be at 12:32 p.m., when Utahns will see a 50% eclipse. However, even at the darkest point of a total eclipse, it's still not safe to look directly at the sun without proper solar-viewing glasses.

Glasses will also be available at recreation centers and libraries, according to information from Salt Lake County.In Salt Lake City, community members can attend the viewing party at Pioneer Park, 250 S. 300 West.
