While Easton won't see a total eclipse on April 8, we will see >90% of the Sun covered at peak eclipse!
The partial eclipse will begin just after 2pm and peak around 3:20pm. The PHYS 108 Astronomy class and the Lafayette Astronomy Club will be out on the quad to share safe solar viewing methods between 2-4pm. The Astronomy Club is especially excited to share their new Hydrogen-alpha telescope which will show a very different view of the Sun than what you're used to.
Never look directly at the Sun with just your eyes! Use ISO 12312-2:2015-certified eclipse glasses from a reputable dealer, and/or use safe methods to project an image onto another surface. See more information on safe solar viewing from the American Astronomical Society, and contact Prof. Stephanie Douglas (douglste@lafayette.edu) with any questions.
