UW astronomy professor offers tips to observe April 8 solar eclipse
On April 8, a solar eclipse will cross over Mexico, the United States and Canada. Shown is a map outlining the path of totality, in which the moon’s disc will completely cover the disc of the sun. For example, Carbondale, Ill., will experience totality from 1:59 p.m. to 2:01 p.m. CDT.

The Greenwood Public Library will have an eclipse viewing party starting at 12:45 p.m. the day of the eclipse, with viewing glasses available on site.
