Subject: Eclipse Viewing on Campus Description: The Department of Astronomy will host an eclipse viewing session on Monday, August 21 from 1-3 p.m. outside of the Physical Sciences Complex. From College Park, we will only be able to see a partial eclipse, which requires special "eclipse" glasses for the duration (bring your own or some will be provided). The moon begins to obscure the sun at about 1:15 p.m. Mid-eclipse, when the greatest amount of the sun is covered (about 81 percent in College Park), occurs at about 2:45 p.m. All observing will be weather dependent. Event Date: August 21, 2017 Event Start Time: 1:00 pm Event End Time: 3:00 pm Event Location: Outside the Physical Sciences Complex Contact Person: Abby Robinson Contact Email: [log in to unmask]
