Total Solar Eclipse: A Bristol Hills Event of the Century

It’s been 99 years since a total solar eclipse plunged the Bristol Hills into absolute darkness, and it will be another 120 years before it happens here again. Get ready for this once-in-a-lifetime experience with an expert guide, NASA “ambassador” James Porter, two weeks before the April 8 eclipse. Hear from this veteran spacecraft engineer what to expect, why our region will find itself in such a narrow band of total darkness as it crosses North America, and how to view it safely. Attendees receive free eclipse glasses — a safety must for viewing the sun as it disappears behind the moon. Sponsored by the Bristol Library and Bristol Hills Historical Society.
