Partial Solar Eclipse tonight!!!

Make sure you take some time this evening to observe the partial solar eclipse. We will not have another of this variety until 2023.

Start time is around: 5:00 p.m. with our visibility best around 5:45.

More information about the event is summarized at the Weather Channel at:

Remember to never stare in to the sun. It will harm your eyes.!

The best way to view the event will be through a filtered lense or by making a pinhole camera.

Here are some simple directions for making a pinhole camera:

If you are able to take some photos or video (while being safe)...I would love to post them here tomorrow!
