On April 8th, 2024 Maine will experience a full solar eclipse, a once in a lifetime opportunity!<\/p>\n

What is a solar eclipse?
\n<\/strong>When the moon orbits the earth, sometimes the moon moves between the earth and sun. At the right angle, the moon blocks the sun\u2019s light from reaching earth and causes a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse the Moon\u2019s shadow is cast upon earth in certain locations.<\/p>\n

What is a total solar eclipse?
\n<\/strong>A total solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in a direct line. It is visible from only certain locations on earth during a solar eclipse when the center of the Moon\u2019s shadow hits the earth, the sky goes dark and we can experience changes in a short amount of time (temperature, sounds, etc.).<\/p>\n

This link will bring you to a short animation from NASA<\/a>\u00a0that explains what we will see during a solar eclipse and why it happens. Curious whether you\u2019ll be in the path of totality?\u00a0This solar eclipse look up tool\u00a0<\/a>allows you to see whether you will experience a total or partial solar eclipse on April 8th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more eclipse information and opportunities!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
