The much-anticipated solar eclipse will happen this morning. According to timeanddate.com, it will begin at 10:23AM, peak at 11:47AM, and end at 1:14PM. DON’T LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN! We want all currently-sighted people in Golden to remain sighted.
The Golden Library is holding a viewing party from 10:30-1, with a limited number of solar viewing glasses and pinhole viewers to share. The glasses are in SHORT SUPPLY, so the ones they have are for use at the library. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, they’ll be set up inside to watch NASA’s live stream of the event.
The Library will also have a class on Social Networking (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) from 2:30-4 today. You might want to call ahead of time (303-235-5275), to make sure they have enough students to offer the class.
