Everyone is very excited about the partial Solar Eclipse coming on Monday, August 21st! We will experience a partial eclipse in our area between 2:15 p.m. and about 2:40 p.m. Our area will be experiencing about a 66% eclipse. A small group of people will be viewing the eclipse together in the ballfield behind the Lyndon Municipal Building. Feel free to join them! Important safety information about viewing the eclipse is available at:

If you do not have Solar Eclipse viewing glasses, a simple and safe Pinhole Projector can be made with a shoebox, some foil, paper and tape. Directions for a Shoebox Pinhole Eclipse Viewer can be found here:

The Solar Eclipse should not be viewed through regular sunglasses, or binoculars or telescope without special filters. You can cause blindness by viewing the eclipse without the proper filter.
The Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium will host a special Solar Eclipse Event on Monday, August 21st. They will also be having instructions on how to make a safe pinhole viewer. For more details:
