VIEWING A SOLAR ECLIPSE
Wednesday, August 2nd at 2pm
Jon Wallace, FCL's own "science-guy," returns to the
library this afternoon for a talk on the Sun and how to
observe it safely during a solar eclipse. On August 21, all
of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun.
Anyone within the path of totality can see one of
nature’s most awe-inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse.
This path will stretch from Salem, Oregon to Charleston,
South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a
partial solar eclipse. For more info go to the website
created by NASA: https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/
