The public is invited to watch the partial solar eclipse this Saturday morning from the Lawrence Berkeley Hall of Science's 270-degree observation point.
BERKELEY -- Squinting isn't good enough for viewing the partial solar eclipse this Saturday morning. The eclipse will be visible across the Bay Area, obscuring 77% of the sun's light at its peak, but don't look at it without the right shades.'The sun is very bright and the amount of ultraviolet that comes from it is dangerous for our retinas. So, you should never look at the sun at any time,' said Dr.
There will be a special event featuring hands-on solar science activities, including telescopes and a live feed, and scientists from UC Berkeley's space sciences laboratory will be present to answer questions.Saturday's eclipse will start in Oregon and cross through Texas, but everyone in the continent will be able to see a partial eclipse.
