Many of SCRLC’s 14 counties (and beyond) will experience a partial eclipse. How do you safely view a total or partial solar eclipse? What if you do not have eclipse glasses?

Join author, astronomy professor, and avid amateur astronomer Phil Harrington for this discussion. You will learn how to:

• Be able to tell safe eclipse glasses from unsafe ( In the last solar total eclipse visible from the US on August 21, 2017, there were unsafe, counterfeit eclipse glasses sold)
• Make pinhole viewers or even better, the Safe Solar Viewer (SSV) or Advanced SSV
• Purchase and use solar filters with binoculars and/or telescopes (for those with this equipment)
• Safely photograph the eclipse

This program is part of SCRLC’s Moon Mondays: Get Ready for the Great 2024 Total Eclipse, which is supported in part by the American Astronomical Society’s Jay M. Pasachoff Solar Eclipse Mini-Grants Program.
