Annular Eclipse Viewing

Organized by Good Water Master Naturalist volunteers and hosted by the Friends group, the October 14, 2023 event at the Interpretive Center attracted individuals, couples, families and groups eager to experience the unique Annular Eclipse occurring that Saturday. Lecture sessions in the classroom preceded the mid-day solar phenomenon. Outside on the terrace and lawn, visitors could use the complimentary solar viewing glasses or learn to make their own special glasses from cereal boxes. Relaxing at various vantage points in the park, participants safely observed the Annular Eclipse as the moon passed in front of the sun and cast a shadow on the Earth between 11:00 AM and 12:30 PM.
