Here is a quick overview of National Park System units that are along the path of Monday's total solar eclipse, according to the National Park Service.
The library has been holding weekly science lessons ahead of the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8. At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2, the library will hold the third and final lesson in the series, with Dr. Melissa Barlett of Mohawk Valley Community College. The lesson will be on how light rays can bend and bounce in different ways, and how we use these methods to create tools to safely view the solar eclipse.
The first in the three-part seminar series will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19 at the library on North Washington Street. Mohawk Valley Community College Professor Melissa Barlett, professor of STEM Transfer, will host the first seminar to discuss stars, planets, moons, orbits and gravity, to better understand how and why solar eclipses happen and why they are so rare.
