ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN without proper equipment.

In Lincoln, we will see a partial eclipse between about 12:15 and 2:33 PM, with the maximum at about 1:25 PM. On the same day, at about 10:37 AM, people in Albuquerque, New Mexico will see an almost total solar eclipse, with a bright ring of fire around the circumference.

TO SEE THE ECLIPSE SAFELY:

Make a pinhole camera – https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/learn/project/how-to-make-a-pinhole-camera/
Use a colander, tree leaves, or two pieces of cardboard – https://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/how-to-view-eclipse
Wear solar eclipse glasses (do not use regular dark glasses)
