Detroit’s solar eclipse: what to expect and when to expect it

For instance, Lowe’s is reselling glasses that are manufactured and branded by American Paper Optics. Due to the vast speed at which the moon orbits the Earth, the totality will last just around two minutes at one particular spot. “Extending the observing time and going to very high altitude might allow us to see a few events or track waves that would be essentially invisible in just two minutes of observations from the ground”.

To say that Fairfield Glade (FG) residents and astronomy enthusiasts Bob Citkovic and Bob Tavernier were excited about the upcoming solar eclipse would be an understatement.

While mercury retrograde can be a pain in the ass for us all, with two eclipses in one month, you’ll barely notice the effect of mercury on your schedule and communication. The latest total eclipse that could be seen across the entire contiguous United States occurred in 1918. But it is also 400 times farther away from us than the moon is.

Cities and towns along the path of totality – where there will be about 2 ½ minutes of darkness – are gearing up for the crowds. “Only after the eclipse, when you notice blind spots or other vision problems, would you realize you’d made a catastrophic mistake”. It focuses on the essentials to get you looking at the sky at the right place and the right time, providing a map of the eclipse, a countdown to when it happens, animations of its path and some general information to help you with your view.

“This is essentially our Super Bowl”, Conway said.

PORTAGE-There are many miraculous things about the universe, and on Monday, Aug. 21, we will get to experience one of them.

“And that’s strictly about safety.” said Wilbert.

“Any moment to teach science at this broad of a scale, it’s just wonderful”, Walls said. “It’s just blown our minds”.

About 50,000 glasses can roll off the assembly line per hour, Jerit said. So, instead of traveling a thousand miles, paying a small fortune, and hoping for clear skies, you can spend 20 bucks to get into the world-renowned science center. The plastic versions are about $15. Such waves were first discovered in 2007 and may be the key to shuttling heat from the sun’s surface to its corona.

Certified solar viewing glasses must be worn to view the eclipse in a safe manner. The glasses must have the “ISO” icon with a designation of ISO 12312-2. And they will all need eye protection. The app can also be used to submit observational data of Earth’s cloud cover (which is then compared to NASA satellite observations) and the location of mosquito habitats (to reduce the threat of misquito-borne disease).

The artwork of the glasses is inspired by St. Jude patient. “How much difference could there possibly be between a partial and a total eclipse?” They will not have a viewing party the day of the solar eclipse.

“We’re marketing it as your last chance to see the eclipse before it leaves America”, Sinwald said.

Although we might feel as if our lives are going through the wash and dry cycle, rest assured that all this change is contributing to major growth and expansion in the areas of your life that are being affected.
