Update on May 20 solar eclipse

Submitted by Editor on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 11:31pm

There will be an annular eclipse of the sun visible throughout the Reno/Tahoe region on May 20th, 2012. According to Nevada Magazine the totality of the eclipse will last from 6:28 to 6:33 p.m local time in the regions with the longest totality. Though a partial eclipse will be visible across the region, Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Pyramid Lake (Where the Symbiosis music festival will be taking place May 17-21) are all directly in the path of the moon's shadow where all of the sun except for a small ring of light will be totally obscured.

SAFETY FIRST:

Remember, it's never wise to stare into the sun without protection! Even during the totality of a solar eclipse the part of the sun that is visible still puts out enough light to damage your retina after a few minutes. You can protect yourself by buying an eclipse viewerr or set of eclipse glasses from Amazon.com or your local party supply store; if you have a set of welding goggles or a piece of smoked glass that will also offer adiquite protection.
