Preparing for the 2024 Solar Eclipse in Bowling Green OH
On April 8, 2024, the moon will cross directly between the Earth and the sun for a few hours, creating a total solar eclipse over major parts of North America. In this type of eclipse, the moon completely obscures the direct view of the sun in certain locations. However, a ring of light, known as a corona, can be seen around the moon. The corona is the sun’s atmosphere, and since it’s usually blocked out by the sun’s bright surface, it’s only visible during these types of events.
Any particular location only experiences a totality from a solar eclipse once every few hundred years, so don’t miss this opportunity to see this once-in-a-lifetime event. When planning your viewing, use our protective glasses. Rays from the sun are harmful to your eyes even during an eclipse. The only safe time to take them off is during the 1-2 minutes of the totality.
