People wanting to safely catch a glimpse of Thursday's partial solar eclipse will get their opportunity at events hosted by The Planetarium at the University of Texas at Arlington, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and Brookhaven College.
Experts say the peak time to see the partial eclipse -- when the moon will cover half of the sun -- will be around 4:45 p.m. As much as 70 percent of the sun will be blocked as the moon passes between Earth and the sun.

The Planetarium at UT Arlington says in contrast to a lunar eclipse, a solar filter is needed to safely observe a solar eclipse. Staring directly at the eclipse without the proper protection can harm a person's eyes.
The Planetarium at UTA will host a watch party from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday at the Chemistry Physics Building at 700 Planetarium Place.
Inexpensive solar viewing glasses will be made available at the planetarium's gift shop and several solar telescopes will be available for the public to view this rare event.
