eclipse

Light cloudiness helped make viewing this morning's solar eclipse easier with the naked eye. This photo was taken this morning at 9:50am, just after the eclipse's peak.

This morning there was an annular solar eclipse. The clips started about 8:05 a.m. and lasted for a couple of hours. The pictures are part of a series and were taken at 10 minute intervals. The GIF file is a combination of the series. Although the start was shrouded in cloud cover, the majority of the eclipse was pretty clear.

The Carson City Library celebrated Monday morning's solar eclipse in all its spectacular glory. Hundreds turned out for the NASA-themed event complete with safety viewing glasses, information booths and more.

Did you feel that? It wasn’t just the temperature drop or the way everything looked muted outside. Something happened today. It happened without a national disaster or a major annual sporting event. It was a time of national unity. It was a time where we dropped the politics, the fear, and even the concerns of our daily lives. We stood together in the present moment.

Elementary students in Carson City were given the rare opportunity Monday morning to view the solar eclipse on their first day of school.

For those unable to get outside, you can watch Monday morning's solar eclipse live on NASA TV by clicking the link here for the raw feed.

What a day we have in store. Sure, it’s off to school for the kids in Carson City, but this will be a day to remember for another reason, the solar eclipse. A huge swath of our country will see a total solar eclipse, but here in Carson City, only 81 percent of totality will be achieved. That means there is NO time that you can look at the sun without risking injury. I repeat: do NOT look directly at the sun. The Jazz and Beyond Music Festival bids farewell to another year with a free concert in McFadden Plaza featuring the talented members of the Mile High Jazz Band.
