Partial solar eclipse visible in Bozeman 10/23/14 starting at 2:58 p.m.

Join the Southwest Montana Astronomical Society and the Bozeman High School Astronomy Club at the Bozeman Public Library (626 E Main Street, Bozeman), on Thursday October 23rd, starting at 2:58 p.m. for the Don’t Look at the Sun Solar Eclipse Event!

As you all should know ~~ You could damage your eyes if you look at the sun.

At maximum, around 4:19 p.m. the Moon will be covering the solar disk ~55%

We will be at the library with safe solar viewing using a sun spotter, white light filter telescope, an h-alpha filter telescope and many supplies for making your very own solar projector — also feel free to bring your own projector.  All the students in the Bozeman School district have been challenged to make their own solar projector.

What is a solar projector?

Anything with a small hole that you can project the sun through and view the shadows.
