If you’re looking to view Monday’s solar eclipse, one place you can do that safely is at UPEI.
While a solar eclipse is a spectacular and memorable event, it needs to be enjoyed with great caution so the university’s physics department is hosting a viewing event beginning at 2:30 outside the entrance of UPEI’s School of Sustainable Design Engineering.
There will be solar telescopes and viewing glasses to watch the eclipse, and activities for all ages to understand how eclipses work.A viewing screen will also be set up to monitor NASA’s live feed of the total eclipse as it is experienced across the United States.
The eclipse peaks at 3:50 pm, but the event will continue until 5:00 pm.
