Hi all, I just posted this to my Facebook page but thought it might be a useful reminder here to. patrick A reminder that we in Utah will be treated to a couple of eclipses next month. First a total eclipse of the Moon during the early morning hours of the 8th and a partial eclipse of the Sun on the afternoon of the 23rd when just under half of the Sun will be covered. Eye protection for the Sun eclipse is mandatory. If you don't have proper eye protection already (sunglasses will not cut it nor will most welder filters) google "eclipse glasses" for lots of places you can buy them online. Also the Salt Lake Astronomical Society will be holding a Solar Eclipse Watch at the Natural History Museum of Utah. I'm pretty sure the museum will be selling eclipse glasses and the astronomy club will be providing free views of the eclipse through specially modified solar viewing telescopes. http://slas.us/displayevent.asp?EventID=2139
