Top 12 Educational School Trip Ideas for Student Success

Table of Contents:

Learning is a never-ending process. It’s not only an educational institution that teaches you! And when it comes to students, what better way than a fun and engaging field trip!?

After all, who doesn’t enjoy a great field trip? It allowed students to leave life’s routine and experience something completely different. And, when it serves the purpose of an educational trip, students can’t wait!

But planning a school trip is more than just fun and excitement! It must add value to the students learning! If you have ideas for student educational trips, this article is for you!

Here, we list the 12 best school trip ideas to help students enhance their learning journey.  

We are your companions, like the best essay writing websites that help you prepare the paper by offering abundant ideas, knowledge, and understanding of your requirements.  

We’ve listed the fun learning opportunities for students of all ages at different price points that teachers can have a look at. Let’s get started!  

Idea 1: Local Museums

What better way than spending a day at the local museums that hold the history of the places?  

It doesn’t have to be a history museum; it could be art, science, or a combination!  

Museums and school trips are both fun and educational. Students get to learn about different cultures, periods, and history and gain appreciation for the work of artists and scientists.  

It is also a great approach to give a sense of belonging to them about their place’s history.  

Museums are also a great way to help students write a paper about it. Instead of having to reach out to a research paper writer who already holds the ideas and expertise to write the best essay, students can do the job on their own with a bit of help from them.  

Idea 2: Outdoor Adventures

Often surrounded by four walls and classes, why wouldn’t students love a fun outdoor activity? Nothing gets students outdoors like an educational trip. A trip with the teacher ensures that they are aware of what to do and what not to do, but in all, they will have great fun.  

An idea of the campground or state park sounds excellent. Students will get to explore nature while learning about the environment. Further, other activities include rock climbing, zip-lining, and hiking. With, outdoor adventure trips seek additional care from teachers!  

Idea 3: Cultural Destinations

When planning a school trip, consider embarking on an educational adventure at a cultural destination that speaks history and culture. It could be a historic site, a cultural center, or an archaeological site.  

In such trips, students explore customs, beliefs, and cultures. Museums are also a great idea, but the cultural destination holds its value! Students can gain insight into the people’s lifestyles in other countries and the periods they lived through, and even participate in workshops to learn more about them.  

Idea 4: Farm Visits

Educational trips for students , especially younger children, demand simplicity and fun learning. They barely understand the history of exploring around the museums. Here, a fun farm visit is both exciting and educational!  

Farms are perfect for exploring nature closely. Such a trip with the teacher will help students learn about the importance of sustainable farm practices, healthy food choices, and animal husbandry. Plus, they’ll enjoy watching and feeding animals.

Idea 5: Aquariums and Zoos  

Next on our list of school trip ideas are Aquariums and zoos. They offer many educational opportunities for students, especially the younger ones! Here, they will be able to learn about animals and their habitat.  

In fact, it is a way for them to see the animals they’ve always seen on screen and paper.  

In aquariums, they can uncover the ocean’s mysteries and lifestyles. Plus, it is always great to see some wildlife close!

Idea 6: Art Galleries

Art has its own way of expressing itself. It speaks differently to everyone. With art gallery trips, students can immerse themselves in art and history.  

They can explore the work of famous artists, view unique art, and get a deeper understanding of cultures and traditions worldwide.  

Idea 7: Theater and Dance Performance

A bit of entertainment included in the learning process does no harm. A field trip for students to theater and dance performances encourages appreciation of performing arts.  

To ensure that these cultures stay extinct, the student must know what theater and dance performance is! They will be exposed to different forms of art. Further, it can be an essential lesson to them on collaboration, communication, and expression.  

Idea 8: Theme Parks

The theme park is also a great field trip suggestion, depending on the subject. You can give students a thrilling educational experience at amusement or theme parks.  

They can learn more about physics and engineering while riding and playing! Further, from a business perspective, they get the idea behind what it takes to run a successful business . Amusement parks are also a place to practice mathematics by calculating the cost of food and rides.  

Idea 9: Industrial Sites

If your students are more into business, visiting factories and industrial sites can significantly help them.  

Here, they can learn how things are made from scratch. They can learn the manufacturing process, discover the importance of safety measures, gain insight into the product, and more.  

Factories can be eye-opening experiences for students to help them understand the value of hard work and effort.  

Idea 10: Charity Events and Fundraisers

A learning journey towards sympathy and affection teaches a lot. When you let your students attend charity events and fundraisers, you teach them the importance of helping others.  

Charity events provide great insight into how a small contribution can make a big difference. Further, charities and fundraisers can be something other than a school trip. Students can volunteer in these activities.  

Idea 11: Business Tours

Business tours are a great initiative to explore the world and entrepreneurship firsthand. On such a trip, students learn about different industries and how they operate, and they even meet entrepreneurs who can share inspiring stories.  

Going on a business tour and exploring a part of the world they want to become familiar with can be an invaluable experience for students.  

Idea 12: International Trips

While it might be a bit costly, compared to other ideas mentioned on the list, an international trip gives the students the taste of another culture.  

Here, they can explore different customs and businesses, learn about foreign languages and foreign cultures, and accept the beauty of the places. International trips are an unforgettable experience for everyone!  

Wrapping Up

This summarizes our list of the top 12 best school trip ideas for students.  

We have listed some of the most popular ideas, from museums and art galleries to amusement parks and international tours. Depending upon the subject, curriculum demand, and students’ wants, you can go with the trip that best suits the student.  

Further, consider the age and learning perspective of the students. A school trip is a significant responsibility for teachers and must be carried out carefully to be a success. With these ideas, you can come up with the best suit!

Photos of Moscow, and My First Impressions

• City Breaks , Russia
• Updated: July 10, 2015

Even though I visited Moscow six months ago I’m not entirely sure why I’ve only decided to write about it now. I must have something to say about it, right…?

It’s not that I didn’t like Moscow, but I can’t exactly say I loved it either. I was only there for three days, so by the time I managed to find my feet around Europe’s biggest city it was already time to leave. The right thing to do is plan a revisit, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do! When? I’m not sure. There are still so many places I want (and need!) to explore, so planning a revisit to somewhere just because I want to like it is less appealing than revisiting somewhere because I loved it.

If there is anything useful to take from reading this post it is this: don’t make my mistake and leave only 3 days for Moscow – it’s not a city like Saint Petersburg that has the power to plunge you head-first into wanderlust. It takes time and a little more effort discovering what’s on offer.

I would suggest a minimum of five days to be able to feel more, see more, and experience more. Afterwards, who knows, you may decide Moscow’s not for you, but at least you can say you tried. It’s hard to find any credibility when I hear people say they disliked a city after only spending a day or two in the place. Some of the best places require effort to explore, that’s often the case with cities in Eastern Europe. They may not always offer the killer attractions of London, Paris and New York; however they sometimes offer a uniqueness that’s often hidden beneath the surface: local life.

There are a few things about Moscow that really stand out for me. Of course there’s Red Square, no trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing the buildings, learning about the history and tripping over the architecture. Once you’ve seen it you don’t forgot it.

The things that stick in my head the most are the things like the roads, the underground and the people – the everyday things.

Before heading to Russia I had read and heard so many negative things about the people and I experienced none of what I read. It’s worth mentioning here that my travel buddy Ruchi is Indian and I’m Chinese, and despite the plethora of advisory information we both read on internet forums about their racial problems, we felt very welcomed. I think it’s easy to get a negative portrayal of Russia from the media, but we should recognise there’s often a mental disparity between the everyday people and the government (as is the situation with so many countries unfortunately).

The people in Russia were helpful when we asked for assistance with directions and friendly in the cafes, restaurants and hotels. In Moscow many people speak good English, much better than in Saint Petersburg (we found anyway), where very few people we came across spoke the language.

The main roads in Moscow are a death trap. They are unforgivably wide, you can’t just go across them in a few footsteps, you need traffic lights – finding them is like trying to find a winning lottery ticket. This wouldn’t matter so much in a city like Reykjavik where the population is miniscule, but this is Moscow we’re talking about. There is traffic, and often lots of it, crossing roads require patience, awareness and quick reactions.

Sadly the aforementioned qualities are not something Ruchi possesses, I had the trauma of watching her try to cross a road in the midst of heavy traffic and I don’t think I’ve ever feared for someone’s safety so much in all my life. For a clever girl she can also be very stupid. She leaped from the pavement into the midst of chaos like a new born baby lost without its mother. Cars screeched, horns beeped, plumes of smoke erupted, and people from the sidewalk watched to see if this girl, dodging an early grave, would make it to the other side. It was a close shave but she made it unscathed and we all went back to breathing properly again.

On first impression, the Moscow underground is a maze of tunnels, I’m sure it’s as easy as ABC for everyday commuters but you have lines that go up, down, across, and another that goes in a circle in seemingly clockwise and anti-clockwise rotations, and sometimes you feel like you’re walking the length of a small city just to cross over onto the other line (you probably are). It’s the most complex underground system I’ve been on but it’s cheap and you need to use it because Moscow is massive. Not only is it the most complex, but it’s one of the most opulent undergrounds I’ve ever seen. Give it a good scrub and it’d be fit for the Queen.

Moscow may not be as romantic, beautiful or quite so elegant as Saint Petersburg, but if you want to experience the wrath of a big city with equally impressive architecture then look no further…

Hi, I'm Shing

Welcome to The Culture Map, a place where I share my travel guides, adventurous tales, and capture the inspiring diversity of our world.

Great post as always Shing! Moscow’s been on my radar for a while now, but I often find myself put off by the media and other stories that you hear about Russia in general so it’s good to know that it’s not really like that on-the-ground. I definitely think I’d struggle to use that underground, though! I mean seriously, is it necessary to have that many lines?!

I think an art and literature lover like yourself would love Moscow and Saint Petersberg. Perhaps ‘love’ isn’t the right word for Moscow but it will give you lots of unique experiences, which is a gift to the memory.

Of course Russia has its troubles, and there’s truth in what the media says, but Russia is not Putin, from my experience the people were helpful and often warm. I know not everyone’s experience will be as positive as mine, factors such as being female, small and young-looking might change the way someone reacts to me on the street when I approach them.

Haha, I know, and I think the Russian text makes the underground feel even more intimidating! But if you can manage London then Moscow isn’t so different!

i loved moscow. i was only there a day though haha! but i have an appreciation like no others for that part of the world, so me liking moscow is surely no big surprise. i havent been to st. petersburg, and while i want to go, it is not on my radar like other russian cities (kazan, omsk, ones on the kamchatka peninsula) because i think it lacks a bit of the western mystery as other russian cities do. i found the people of moscow very friendly, but i tend to find russians very outgoing to me as an american (it’s their government that doesnt like us haha). i love the grandiose architecture and the drinking culture, as well as every single female looking like a supermodel. anyways, this post makes me yearn to go back soon! if only those visas weren’t so expensive dangit!

have a great weekend shing!

I love your appreciation for this part of the world Megan, that’s what makes your travel blog stand out from the hundreds out there! I know what you mean about Saint Petersburg perhaps lacking a bit of mystery in comparsion to the other Russian cities, it is the most visited one after all, but Saint Petersburg is truly fascinating, perhaps the most fascinating city I’ve ever been to. History is peeling from the walls!

Before I went, people said Moscow is ‘very Russian’ but I think Saint Petersburg is more Russian. Moscow surprised me because it was much more modern and cosmopolitian than I imagined it to be, much more than Saint Petersburg which I can imagine looking the same now as it did decades, and even centuries ago. However, what should I expect from a city that’s home to so many oligarchs?

Oh, those damn visas, yes the money but also the time! And yes again to the women! The heels, the legs, the hair!

Wow, I was just thinking of you yesterday. For real. I sure have missed hearing from you Shing over on my side of the blogging block. Russia is definitely a place I want to visit and thank you for your candid post. Interesting that it didn’t blow you away but I’m glad that you and Ruchi felt comfortable there. Yikes on her navigating the busy street! I’m glad the locals were helpful. A blogger told me the airport could be a nightmare because there was little to no English as in many international airports in different countries. What was your experience with that?

Hi Mike! I will ensure not to leave it so long before I pay a visit at your end 😉 Oh I don’t think I recall having a problem at the airport, but maybe because I’m so accustomed to airports I have the general layout figured out – perhaps?

Those shots are wonderful! I love the style and colour combinations of the buildings, it’s so different from the architecture I’m used to. I would love to visit Russia in the future, but I was put off because of the things I’d read in the newspaper and the government’s opinions on some matters. I’m really happy to read that the everyday people in Moscow were friendly and helpful.

The architecture is like nowhere else in the world Estrella!

I disagree with many of the Government’s policies too, and I’m disgusted by several, but I feel like the government doesn’t represent the people, but represses them. For this reason one of the best things we can do for a most unified universe is to travel.

I’ve been pretty open about my negative experiences in Russia, and still some of those stories haven’t been told! All of Russia was a challenge for me. I found I enjoyed myself the farther east I went, away from the “big” cities like Moscow and St P. I was very surprised to find how big the Siberian cities are though! I was expecting little villages and nothing but, and boy was I wrong. This is where cutting my research short becomes obvious. The people in Russia for me were hit or miss. Some TOTAL sweethearts and some complete, utter assholes. I’m sorry to say that the negative outweighed the positive. I have to actively remind myself that there were in fact some nice people there. I don’t think I will ever go back to Russia; I would love to try to love it more, but I just feel like there is so much more of the world to see and potentially fall in love with and so little time. Life is too short to spend it somewhere I might like maybe possibly.

I’m sorry to hear that the negative outweighed the positive for you Colleen but if there is one thing that Russia gives you it’s life experiences and that’s often one of the key differences between ‘travelling’ and having a ‘holiday’ – sometimes you need a holiday after a travelling!!

One day I’d love to go east like you did and see how different it it. Haha, I think places that are considered small for Russian standards are still quite big in reality, eh? I had the same experience in China. They called a city small if it had under 2 000 000 million!

It sounds like you and Russia probably won’t meet a again… but at least you give him a shot! 😀

Looks incredible to me! I’ve been lusting over Russia since studying it in school though… Still not made it there yet but definitely going to. Very true what you say about Eastern European cities and having to give them a bit more of a chance. They certainly don’t have the immediate wow of the hot, sunny and openly artsy cities you often find in Spain and other places in Europe – but I’ve loved all the Eastern European cities I’ve been too after I’ve had some time to amble around, find some quirky cafes etc. Loved your photos too btw 🙂

Glad you love the Eastern European cities that you’ve experienced too Charlie! Ambling about it very important! 😀

I hope you make it to Russia!

I have to agree – the portrait of Russia in the media is often misleading. I went to 2 Russian cities (St. Petersburg and Pskov – a ‘smaller’ city near the Lithuanian border) and in both, I had no issues with communication or anything, really. Minus one time that I had a ‘I’m going to jail’ moment but it worked out just fine.

Haha… you can’t tease me with a sentence like, ‘Minus one time that I had a ‘I’m going to jail moment’ but it worked out just fine’.

Go on, spill the beans, what happened…?!

I haven’t been to Moscow proper and it was one of the biggest mistakes ever. I was on my way to Vietnam with Aeroflot (Haw! Haw!) and they offered to arrange a stop-over in Moscow for me. If only I had known how difficult it normally is…! Anyway, when I asked about the visa and it was €50 just for me to stay a night. I rejected it ‘cos I was being cheap even though I had just paid €800 for a return flight…! Anyway, I ended up “staying” at the airport in Moscow for 10 hours! It was awful. Some people even had tents and camper stoves.

Your photos and stories are so lovely. I have just got to go to Moscow properly sooner rather than later and I will cough up LOL! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂

Oh dear Victoria! I paid £125 for my Visa so had you known the price and difficulty of getting it beforehand, you probably would have grabbed the opportunity!

But a night is still too short, so enjoy a fuller trip to Moscow hopefully in the not so distant future!

I certainly will LOL! p.s. ‘Can’t believe that you paid £125 for the visa. I’m such an idiot LOL but I’ve learnt my lesson LOL!

Some places we just not get as connected to. Moscow really spoke to me but I’ve read a lot about the cold war and enjoyed the….well, three, historical walking tours I took. In my defense they had really good guides. Fashion really stood out to me too, Moscow dressed well. Going back fifty years you’d be considered a “decadent westerner” lol. There’s still many remnants of communism architecturally left behind.

I really enjoyed my time there, I actually went back after visiting St. Petersberg just to see more.

I should definitely follow your steps next time by taking a walking tour of Moscow. A city with as much history as it has is really brought to live when we have a better understanding of the different phrases it’s been through.

The dress sense stood out for me too, you can tell you’re among the rich and wealthy in Moscow, and they’re not shy about being extravagant!!

I love these pictures and I so would love to go to Moscow! This city must be crazy yet amazing! and I’d probably spend one day exploring the metro itself! Too bad it’s getting difficult to get a Russian visa these days…

Hey shing, I’m visiting Germany next month and thought about getting a visa to Russia and visit Russia too since I will be in Europe. The only problem is that I can’t make up my mind wether to visit Moscow or St. Petersburg. I’ve never been in Russia before and I like Russia because of the Cold War anedotes I’ve read and Heard, which city would you recomend me to visit?

Hi Alex! If you have the opportunity to go to Moscow or St Petersburg whilst you’re in Europe I definitely recommend you go!

If you’re short on time I would recommend St Petersburg, it’s much easier to walk around and you can’t help but instantly fall the for the beauty of city, whereas Moscow is bigger and takes more time to adjust to. If you’re interested in the Cold War you might be interested to go to the State Museum of the Political History of Russia located in Petersburg.

Exploring the Bay Area on the 2024 Tech Trek

Marisa Li ’24 shares photos and memories from a student-led trip to San Francisco. 

Earlier this year, I led a group of 25 SOM students to the West Coast for our San Francisco Tech Trek. I was thrilled to restart this initiative after it was on hold for five years due to the COVID pandemic.

Our Bay Area alumni gave us tours of their offices and shared their advice and experiences. We learned a lot about the company culture, the variety of roles available in tech, and important skills to develop during our MBA program, and got great tips on the recruiting process. Here are some highlights!

Google kicked off our visit with a delicious breakfast. The Mountain View campus was huge, with multiple buildings that we saw during a walking tour. 

At Salesforce, we visited the Ohana Floor at the top of Salesforce Tower. We enjoyed beautiful 360-degree views of San Francisco while drinking coffee and tea from the barista bar. 

We explored cool new technology at HP, including a foldable laptop/tablet. I kept touching the hinge area to see if I could feel it anything once it was converted to a tablet—I couldn’t! We also toured the offices of founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard. We learned that the founders were truly committed to an “open door” policy—one of them even left money on his desk, and no one ever took it. 

We had a memorable welcome to the C3.ai office, where they displayed the Yale SOM logo in the lobby. 

ServiceNow brightened up our Friday afternoon with free mochi ice cream (my favorite flavor: mango!) and driving simulation games. 

In the evenings, we built connections in the Bay Area through social activities. We hosted a joint mixer with the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and Columbia Business School. We also met alumni across the broader Yale community during a mixer with the Yale Club of Silicon Valley. It was great to meet Yale College alumni, who recommended interesting spots on campus to explore before graduation. 

Looking back, the San Francisco Tech Trek was a fast-paced, unforgettable experience. I loved welcoming the group to my hometown, especially since some students had never visited California before. My favorite hidden gem: the Moraga Steps.

I am grateful to all the alumni and company representatives who made this tech trek possible. They not only took time out of their workday to meet with us, but they also candidly answered our questions and were willing to stay in touch afterwards. Big thank you as well to my fellow Tech Club leaders, the Career Development Office, and Alumni Relations for their support with planning. I already heard from the first-years that they cannot wait for next year’s tech trek!

Former washington high school teacher avoids jail time after having sex with student, 17, while husband was on hunting trip.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A former married high school teacher convicted of having sex with an underage student won’t face any jail time despite her victim’s mother claiming the educator’s “predatory actions” stripped the student of his dreams.

McKenna Kindred, 25, who taught at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley, Wash., pleaded guilty Thursday to amended charges of second-degree sexual misconduct with a minor and communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

The teacher’s inappropriate relationship with the 17-year-old student began in June 2022, when the minor discovered Kindred’s Instagram account and the two began messaging each other, according to the Spokeman-Review.

Sometime in November of that year, Kindred and the student had sex inside her home while Kindred’s husband was on a hunting trip.

The teen’s friends shared screenshots of the messages with school officials in December 2022.

Both Kindred and the teen at the time had denied any sexual relationship as rumors began to spread around the school, including the teacher being harassed by someone on social media, the outlet reported.

An investigation was launched into Kindred’s behavior, leading detectives to speak with the teen, who admitted to messaging the teacher and even exchanging inappropriate videos with each other.

The teen admitted to contacting Kindred over Instagram and having sex with the teacher at her home.

The investigation found Kindred sent several sexually alluding messages to the teen, KHQ previously reported.

“I wanted you to be in my room.”

“When other girls talk about you in my class I could feel myself getting mad.”

“I really like being touched by you.”

Detectives seized the teen’s phone and found selfie-styled photos of both Kindred and the student but did not find “any photos that appeared overtly sexual in nature,” according to the outlet.

The school district placed Kindred on administrative leave in Dec. 2022, before she resigned in 2023.

The victim’s mother claimed Kindred began to groom her son when he was 16, and her actions were an “abuse of power.”

“I barely slept for several weeks in fear of the physical retaliation [my son] might be victim to as McKenna involved him in her adult marital affairs,” Ashley Beckley said during her impact statement to the court, according to KHQ.

Beckley also claimed Kindred’s actions made her son unable to finish school on campus, affecting his social, emotional and academic well-being.

“A light he used to carry has been dimmed,” she said.

Kindred apologized to the teen and his family, acknowledging the pain she caused.

“I know this past year has been incredibly difficult for all involved. As a result of my actions, I’ve lost my career, valuable friendships, freedoms and have let down countless people who placed their trust in me,” she said to the court in a prepared statement.

“My mental health has also significantly been affected by this event. I am deeply ashamed of the pain I have caused.”

Kindred, who has been free on bond since her arrest in 2022, was sentenced to 2 years of probation, handed $700 in fines and fees and ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years

Since her arrest, Kindred voluntarily began seeing a counselor for her mental health, according to the Spokesman-Review.

Kindred’s counselor said the teacher’s mental health, depression, anxiety and marital issues weren’t an excuse for her crimes but had contributed to them.

“She’s suffered severe collateral consequences,” he added.

Your last-minute guide to Monday's total solar eclipse

A total solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday , offering millions a rare opportunity to see afternoon skies temporarily darken as the moon blocks the face of the sun.

Tune into NBC News NOW as Lester Holt hosts a two-hour special at 2 p.m. ET Monday from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The eclipse's path fortuitously cuts across Mexico, 15 U.S. states and a small part of eastern Canada. In all other states in the continental U.S., viewers will be treated to a partial solar eclipse, with the moon appearing to take a bite out of the sun and obscuring part of its light.

Here’s everything you need to know about the rare celestial event.

What is a solar eclipse?

Solar eclipses occur when the sun, moon and Earth align. The moon passes between Earth and sun, temporarily blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow on Earth.

A total solar eclipse is when the moon fully obscures the sun, whereas a partial solar eclipse means it blocks just a portion of the sun’s face.

Solar eclipses occur only with the new moon. Because the moon’s orbit around Earth is tilted, the three bodies don’t always line up in a way that creates an eclipse.

“Imagine if the moon’s orbit were in the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun — if that were the case, then every new moon, you’d have a total solar eclipse and every full moon, you’d have a lunar eclipse,” Neil DeGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, told NBC News. “So, because things don’t always align, it lends to the rarity of the event and the specialness of the event.”

Where and when will the eclipse be visible?

This year’s eclipse will follow a slightly wider path over more populated areas of the continental U.S. than other total solar eclipses have in the recent past.

NASA estimates that 31.6 million people live within what’s known as the path of totality, where the total solar eclipse will be visible. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path, according to the agency.

The path travels through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Tiny parts of Michigan and Tennessee will also be able to witness totality if conditions are clear.

After the eclipse crosses into Canada, it will pass over southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, at the eastern end of Nova Scotia.

Those outside the path of totality can still take part in the astronomical event by viewing a partial solar eclipse — visible throughout all 48 states of the contiguous U.S. — or a NASA livestream.

The timing, including how long totality lasts, depends on the location, but some spots will see the moon fully cover the sun for up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds.

Below is a list of timings for some cities along the path of totality, as  provided by NASA . A number of other resources, including NationalEclipse.com  and  TimeandDate.com , can also help people plan.

• Dallas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:23 p.m. CT and totality at 1:40 p.m.
• Little Rock, Arkansas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:33 p.m. CT and totality at 1:51 p.m.
• Cleveland: Partial eclipse begins at 1:59 p.m. ET and totality at 3:13 p.m.
• Buffalo, New York: Partial eclipse begins at 2:04 p.m. ET and totality at 3:18 p.m.
• Lancaster, New Hampshire: Partial eclipse begins at 2:16 p.m. ET and totality at 3:27 p.m.

How to safely view a solar eclipse

It is never safe to gaze directly at the sun, even when it is partly or mostly covered by the moon. Special eclipse glasses or  pinhole projectors  are required to safely view solar eclipses and prevent eye damage. Failing to take the proper precautions can result in severe eye injury,  according to NASA .

Eclipse glasses are thousands of times darker than normal sunglasses and specially made to enable wearers to look at the sun during these kinds of celestial events.

Sky-watchers should also never view any part of the sun through binoculars, telescopes or camera lenses unless they have specific solar filters attached. Eclipse glasses should not be used with these devices, as they will not provide adequate protection.

However, during the few minutes of totality, when the moon is fully blocking the sun, it is safe to look with the naked eye.

Beware of fake eclipse glasses. On legitimate pairs, the lenses should have a silver appearance on the front and be black on the inside. The manufacturer’s name and address should be clearly labeled, and they should not be torn or punctured. Check, as well, for the ISO logo and the code “IS 12312-2” printed on the inside.

If you don’t have eclipse glasses, you can make a homemade pinhole projector, which lets sunlight in through a small hole, focuses it and projects it onto a piece of paper, wall or other surface to create an image of the sun that is safe to look at. 

All you need is two pieces of white cardboard or plain white paper, aluminum foil and a pin or thumbtack. Cut a 1- to 2-inch square or rectangle out of the center of a piece of white paper or cardboard. Tape aluminum foil over that cut-out shape, then use a pin or thumbtack to poke a tiny hole in the foil.

During the eclipse, place a second piece of white paper or cardboard on the ground as a screen and hold the projector with the foil facing up and your back to the sun. Adjusting how far you hold the projector from the second piece of paper will alter the size of the image on the makeshift screen.

What to look for while viewing the total solar eclipse

For people along the path of totality, there are some fun milestones to keep track of as the total solar eclipse unfolds.

As the eclipse progresses and the sun gets thinner in the sky, it will start to get eerily dark, according to Tyson.

When the last beams of sunlight are about to become obscured, look out for the “diamond ring effect”: The sun’s atmosphere will appear as an illuminated halo, and the last light still visible will look like the diamond of a giant ring.

As the sunlight decreases even further, an effect known as Baily’s beads will be created by the moon’s rugged terrain. Tiny “beads” of light will be visible for only a few seconds around the dark moon, as the last bits of sunlight peer through the moon’s mountains and valleys.

When the moon is fully blocking the sun, it is safe to remove eclipse glasses and look at the total solar eclipse with the naked eye.

Some lucky sky-watchers may even catch a glimpse of a comet .

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks — nicknamed the “ devil comet ” because an eruption last year left it with two distinct trails of gas and ice in the shape of devil horns — is currently visible from the Northern Hemisphere as it swings through the inner solar system.

The comet can be seen in the early evenings by gazing toward the west-northwest horizon. During the eclipse, when skies darken during totality, it may be possible to see the comet near Jupiter, but its visibility will depend on whether it’s in the middle of an outburst and thus brighter than normal.

Most likely, all eyes will be on the alignment of the moon and sun.

“Most people won’t even notice,” Tyson said. “But if you know to look, it’s there.”

When is the next solar eclipse?

The next total solar eclipse will be in 2026, but it will mostly pass over the Arctic Ocean, with some visibility in Greenland, Iceland, Portugal and northern Spain. In 2027, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Spain and a swath of northern Africa.

The next total solar eclipse visible from North America will be in 2033, but only over Alaska. Then in 2044, a total solar eclipse will cross Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, parts of Canada and Greenland.

The next total solar eclipse to cross the continental U.S. coast-to-coast in will occur in 2045. The path of totality for that eclipse will cut through California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
