Millions of people across the U.S., Canada and Mexico will be donning protective glasses this afternoon to witness a much-anticipated solar eclipse. In New York’s Sullivan County, six prisoners at the Woodbourne Correctional Facility will be among those gathering outside to view the rare event, after winning a lawsuit that argued forcing them to remain indoors was a violation of their religious beliefs. The prison has issued a lockdown during the time of the eclipse, which will peak in New York around 3:25 p.m.
