eclipse viewing
Celestial shadow observation
Eclipse viewing is the practice of watching a solar or lunar eclipse, especially the total or partial obscuring of the sun by the moon.
The phrase typically implies safe observation methods, since looking directly at the sun damages eyes: We bought special glasses for eclipse viewing.
Eclipse viewing events draw crowds to locations in the path of totality.
