Name of Event: ANS Solar Eclipse Observation

Date: Monday 08/21/2017

Time: 11:00 am -12:00 pm

Type: (Organized/Participation/Joint Event) ANS Organized

Volunteers: Ira Strong, Melissa Moreno, Jose Olvera and Juan Dominguez.

Activities: On August 21, a solar eclipse will be cutting through the United States. For most of the country, including New Mexico, the eclipse will be partial. This means only part of the sun’s surface will be blocked by the moon and there will be no point during which it will be safe to look at the sun without proper eye protection. The only place where it will be safe to view the sun directly will be a relatively narrow path from Oregon to South Carolina, and then only for a little over two minutes while the sun is totally eclipsed. Come to ME Building Patio for a safe look at the partial eclipse through Safe Solar Glasses, weather permitting. About 73% of the sun will hidden by the moon as seen from Albuquerque during the eclipse’s midpoint at 11:45 a.m. MDT.
