Hello, Public interest in this eclipse is running high and Clark Planetarium is trying to maximize the viewing opportunities for folks who will be in Salt Lake County. Not everyone can or wants to travel south, but that doesn't mean there won't be lots of people wanting to view the eclipse, and we're anxious that they have access to safe and scientifically accurate viewing opportunities. Planetarium staff will be at The Gateway, Library Square, and Dimple Dell Recreation Center in Sandy with solar filter-equipped telescopes. Between these venues and staff taking off for southern Utah, our resources are stretched thin and we're wondering if there are any amateur astronomers who'd be willing to bring a telescope and help talk to the public about the eclipse. We especially need another scope and explainer for the Sandy location. (Dimple Dell Rec Center is at 106th South & 10th East.) I'd also like to know what other viewing opportunities are being made available to the public along the Wasatch Front so we can promote them through our Facebook, Tweets, blogs, etc. I know there's going to be eclipse viewing at the NHMU - are there others? Please email me if you think you might be interested in bringing a solar filter equipped telescope and being a public eclipse explainer. Thanks, Seth Jarvis Clark Planetarium sjarvis@slco.org
