Eclipse Viewing Party Planned

A partial solar eclipse is the impetus for a viewing party planned at the State University of New York at Fredonia on Monday, the first day of the fall semester. The Department of Physics will host the viewing event, and will have 1,500 pairs of solar glasses for safe viewing of the sun; binoculars set up with solar filters; and a solar telescope set up to provide safe viewing opportunities. The event will take place in the field behind the Science Center from approximately noon-4 p.m. (Maximum eclipse is around 2:30 p.m.). There will also be an inflatable solar system for demonstrations of what an eclipse actually is. At the same time, a NASA live stream of totality will be displayed in the campus’ Williams Center Multipurpose Room, which will also serve as the backup location in case of rains. Local viewing won’t be possible in this case, but there will be a live stream from other locations where it is not cloudy or raining. The equipment is funded through support provided by the Fredonia College Foundation’s Carnahan Jackson Humanities Fund. Members of the campus and community are encouraged to attend.

Lake Tour Set For Tuesday
