Some Information on the Upcoming Solar Eclipse
On Monday, August 21, 2017, 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 although New York State is not in this path, we will still experience a partial solar eclipse. This path of totality, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can be seen, will stretch from Lincoln Beach, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk.
Please remember that looking directly at the sun can cause permanent damage to your eyes. Please visit webpage for more information and safety tips on how to look at the eclipse without hurting you eyes.
