PREPARE FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE!

Where will you be for the 2023 solar eclipse? On the water? Join us for the September member meeting where Jim Todd, Director of Space Science Education at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI), RCA President, will help you prepare for the 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse and 2024 Solar Eclipse! This annular eclipse is the second of three notable solar eclipses viewable from the US. It follows the US total eclipse of August 2017 and comes six months before the North American total eclipse of April 2024. On October 14, 2023, annularity, where the Sun forms a ‘ring of fire’ around the Moon, is visible along a narrow path that crosses from Oregon to Texas. It then passes over Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, plus parts of Central America, Colombia, and Brazil. Portland will observe a strong partial eclipse of 86% at 9:19 AM. Then on April 8, 2024, will be the Great North American Total Solar Eclipse. This is the third time in seven years that a total or annular eclipse crosses the United States mainland, following the total eclipse of August 2017 and the annular eclipse of October 2023. The narrow path of totality where the Moon covers the Sun completely, causing a total eclipse runs through central Mexico, the eastern United States, and eastern Canada. A partial eclipse will be visible across nearly all of North America. Portland will observe a partial eclipse of 22% at 11:25 AM. Solar viewing glasses will be required for both viewings! Where will YOU be in 2023 and 2024? Jim Todd is the Director of Space Science Education at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI), and the President of Rose City Astronomers.
