Solar Eclipse at Seagrave Observatory

Join Skyscrapers members at Seagrave Memorial Observatory to observe the August 21 partial solar eclipse. The Sun will be 72% eclipsed from central Rhode Island, and will last between 1:27pm until 4:00pm, with maximum eclipse occurring at 2:47pm.

Safe solar viewing will be available through standard white-light solar-filtered telescopes as well as hydrogen-alpha bandbass filters. Live-streamed webcasts from locations experiencing totality will be shown in the meeting hall. Solar eclipse viewers will also be available. 

In the event of cloudy weather, we will still show live webcasts from total solar eclipse locatious throughout the United States.

Seagrave Observatory has limited parking and it will be first come first served or as people leave we can let another car in. Solar Astronomers will be on hand to answer your questions and there will be Solar images for sale to benefit Skyscrapers, Inc.
