Join us any time between 9:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Monday, 08 April 2024, on the central lawn around the clock tower for solar-safe viewing during the [total, but partial for us] solar eclipse! Eclipse first contact occurs at 10:04 a.m., maximum eclipse (~50% coverage) at 11:11 a.m., and last contact is at 12:23 p.m. We’ll have solar-safe telescopic viewing in both “white” and Hα light and free eclipse glasses while they last.

We will have telescopes equipped with safe solar filters for the community to view the partial solar eclipse, starting from 10 AM until around 12:15 PM. From Hayward California, the maximum eclipse will be around 11:15 AM, with about 1/3 of the Sun covered. We’ll be near the football field and building 4000, and everyone will be welcome!
