Solar Eclipse Watch Party

April 8, 2024
2:15 pm EDT - 4:00 pm EDT

Join the Physics Department for watching the Solar Eclipse on April 8th on Alumni Quad. As long as it’s not completely overcast, there will be a observing event on the Alumni Quad for the eclipse starting at 2:15pm, through maximum eclipse at 3:29pm, and until about 4:30pm or whenever folks are finished observing. There will be telescopes set up for safe solar viewing of the disk of the Sun as the Moon crosses in front of it and about 400 eclipse glasses on hand to borrow while supplies last. Bring your own solar sunglasses, able to get from local libraries or buying a pair. See you on the quad!

Please, remember, DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT THE PROPER PROTECTION. IT IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR EYES!
