Solar Eclipse Viewing
Come out and observe the Solar Eclipse with us with eclipse glasses and other eclipse activities. Peak eclipse will be 90% around 3:25 pm, but the partial eclipse will be observable throughout the afternoon.
During a solar eclipse the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and blocks all or part of the Sun. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon lines up perfectly to fully block the Sun; in a partial solar eclipse, the Moon only blocks part of the Sun; and during an annular eclipse, alignment is perfect but the Moon is too far away from the Earth to completely obscure the Sun. (Source: NISE Network) Solar eclipses happen all over the world at least once a year. However, the next total solar eclipse over North America won't occur until 2044.
If you are indoors or unable to see the sun because of cloud cover, NASA will be livestreaming the solar eclipse from their youtube channel!
