Eclipse
A PARTIAL solar eclipsecaused when the moon moves between the earth and the sun—will occur from 9:20 a.m.-12:25 p.m. (EST), December 13, says the Science Museum of Virginia.
According to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger, Jr., director of the Museum’s Capital Division, “Virginia residents will be able to view the eclipse, weather permitting, but should use care.” He also noted that “since light from the sun will be reduced only slightly, it wiH be very difficult to notice the event without prior information.”
About 60 percent of the sun will be obscured at the time of maximum eclipse (10:52 a.m., EST). At the beginning, a tiny sliver of the sun will be covered, and this will increase gradually until about three-fifth’s is obscured.
“The safest viewing method,” Dr. Knappenberger said, “is to project the image of the sun through the eyepiece of a telescope onto a screen, which could be made from a piece of white paper and held a few inches from the eyepiece; or to project the image through a pinhole in a cardboard box. Under no circumstances should the sun be viewed directly through a telescope or with the naked eye.”D
