Local astronomer Irene Pease is known as the “Friendly Neighboorhood Astronomer” and she’ll be at the Mamakating Environmental Education Center for a talk on everything folks should need to know about the upcoming Solar Eclipse in April.
She’ll cover some basics of the moon’s cycle and phases, mechanics of lunar and solar eclipses, and specifics of the 2024 eclipse, including the path of totality and tips for viewing the partial and/or total eclipse safely.
She spoke to Tim Bruno on Radio Chatskill.
