On Mon., April 8, a solar eclipse will sweep across North America! Here in Easton, viewers will see >90% of the Sun covered at peak eclipse (~3:20 p.m.). Please do not look directly at the sun without a certified solar filter over your eyes at any point during the eclipse.
Come to the quad from 2-4 p.m. to safely view the sun with the PHYS 108 Astronomy class, the Lafayette Astronomy Club, and the Physics Department. Event organizers will show you the eclipse in progress and exciting magnetic features on the sun’s surface. Get more information on the Physics Department’s Eclipse page.
If you can’t make it to the Quad, pick up eclipse glasses in Farinon from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
