Bill Nye Breaks Down Everything to Know About the Solar Eclipse and Comments on Viral Photoshoot (Exclusive)

The beloved science educator talks about the exciting natural phenomenon as well as his viral 'TimeOut' shoot.

While the CEO of The Planetary Society understands that "human nature being what it is," everyone will be tempted to use their naked eye or regular sunglasses to check out the eclipse, but he cautions viewers against doing so. "We wanna know what we're doing here or how we [came] to be on this planet with this remarkable situation [when] the sun blocks the moon, and we happen to find a way to get in the path of it. From the time the partial eclipse first appears on Earth to its final glimpses before disappearing thousands of miles away, the celestial show will dazzle viewers for about five hours, according to timeanddate.com.
