Drop in anytime, mingle/meet friends between 11:00a to 1:00p at the posted coordinates. All geocachers (interested muggles too) are welcomed to stop by. You don't have to eat to log the event, but if you eat – it's your dime :-)
Information/materials I will share are from NASA and AAS (American Astronomical Society). I will have a log sheet for attendees to sign and a few eclipse-oriented drawing prizes.
An eclipse occurs somewhere in the world on a regular basis (typically every 18 months) as one of three types. A partial solar eclipse is when a portion of the sun always remains in view. An annular solar eclipse, the sky will darken abnormally (think evening twilight) however the moon is too small to block the sun fully. However a total solar eclipse is a celestial sweet spot, where our 2,160-mile diameter moon is positioned close to the Earth (therefore appearing larger) to block the 864,000-mile diameter sun as it passed between the two!
