On
Thursday October 23rd, the Moon will move in front of the
Sun, partially blocking our nearby star in what astronomers call a
solar eclipse. The event will be visible in Atlanta very late
in the afternoon, from 6:01 p.m. until sunset at 6:52 p.m., with
approximately 25 percent of the Sun covered by the Moon. From
the Fernbank Observatory, the Sun will only be about ten degrees
above the western horizon at the start of the eclipse. Please
note that we will lose the setting Sun in the western tree-line prior
to actual sunset.
Astronomers
at Fernbank Science Center will host activities in concert with the
solar eclipse, including a special planetarium program, an
observatory open house (weather permitting), and a live web-based
broadcast from the Griffith Observatory on the west coast.
