Is it worth going out?
Without question, if the sky is clear. Totality is the only time you can look at the Sun without protection and see its corona. Use eclipse glasses for the partial phases before and after.
Never look at the partly covered Sun without eclipse glasses that meet ISO 12312-2. Only during totality itself is it safe to look without them. How to tell if your glasses are safe.
