Description
Coronado will not be in the path of totallity, but we will see a partial solar eclipse around 73%. During the duration of the eclipse, approximately 10am - 12pm, we will have a Sunspotter setup at the visitor center to watch the eclipse and check out any visible sunspots. Using the Sunspotter everyone will have a chance to see the eclipse without the need for solar eclipse glasses because you are not looking at the sun.
We will have a limited number of eclipse glasses to give out which are required if looking directly at the sun.
