On the day of our next meeting there will be an Annual Eclipse, with path of annularity passing through the southwester United States. We have the meeting room starting at 11:00 AM so we can watch the video feed together.<\/p>\r\n

Backgrounder<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while the moon is at its farthest point from Earth. The moon appears smaller than the Sun, so it doesn\u2019t completely cover the solar disc, creating the \u201cring of fire\u201d effect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In contrast, a partial eclipse like we will see here in the Midwest is when the moon\u2019s image is never centered over the solar disc, making the sun look like a bite is missing from a cookie.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This will be the last annular eclipse visible from the US until 2039.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Eclipse IRL<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At St Anthony, the start of partiality is about about 10:30 AM and last until about 1:15 PM, peaking somewhere close to 11:48 AM. Our maximum coverage will be about 55%, so you\u2019ll notice a dimming of light.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need eclipse glasses to look directly at the light \u2013 don\u2019t look right at it, regardless of what you\u2019ve seen others do.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Eclipse Online<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At the St. Anthony Library we\u2019ll bring a projector and show the view from the annularity at Valley of the Gods, Utah.\u00a0 Exploratorium has had great coverage in the past, you can view it at home at https:\/\/www.exploratorium.edu\/eclipse\/livestream<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At Eugene, OR, totality is 11:18-11:20 CDT, Roswell NM 11:38-11:43. Valley of the Gods is between these two locations, so expect viewing to be best starting at 11:00 AM or soon after, and done before our noon meeting start.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
