Partial Eclipse Viewing At Houge Park

Everyone is invited to join us at Houge Park to observe a partial solar eclipse where the moon will cover most of the sun. Come between 7:30 and 8 if you want to see the full eclipse, but don't hesitate to join us after the eclipse has started, it will be a slow moving spectacle. The eclipse will start at about 8:10 am and go till about 10:40 am and the moon will cross with a maximum intersection of 75% at 9:20 am.

Sun screen and perhaps a blanket or lawn chair are good things to bring. We will have eclipse glasses and various instruments to safely view the eclipse and the features of the sun's surface and atmosphere. In case of clouds we expect to be able to live stream what the eclipse is looking like from other sites with clearer views.

Note that SJAA is organizing two eclipse events in total. This one at Houge Park plus a second in collaboration with Stanford/KIPAC. See this event for the Stanford location: https://www.meetup.com/sj-astronomy/events/296201009/

We hope to see you at one of the two!
