A partial solar eclipse should be visible tomorrow in Island Falls! See article for details.

What can Mainers expect during tomorrow's partial solar eclipse? A UMaine expert explains:

☀️ When can Mainers see the eclipse?
In the greater Bangor area, viewers will see the partial eclipse between 12:54 and 2:49 p.m., according to Shawn Laatsch of the University of Maine’s Versant Power Astronomy Center.

🔭 Where can you watch it?
The Versant Power Astronomy Center will welcome members of the public to view the eclipse for free from the Historic Clark Telescope Observatory from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 12.

👓 How can you watch safely?
“You should never look directly at the sun for more than a second or two without protection,” Laatsch said. “Solar eclipse glasses and solar filters block out 99% of the sun rays.”

📅 What if you miss it?
The next partial solar eclipse in Maine will occur in 2045, Laatsch said. The next total solar eclipse visible in Maine will occur on May 1, 2079.

“People with any interest in astronomy will enjoy seeing this partial solar eclipse, especially if they can’t travel across the world to see the total solar eclipse,” Laatsch said.
