Whether we schedule/hold the session will depend on the specific timing and circumstances of the eclipse, and of course, the weather.

Solar eclipse glasses/viewers that allow you to safely view the sun are available at GTCC Bookstores or at Cline Observatory Friday night viewing sessions. If it's cloudy in the Triad on eclipse day, you can monitor eclipse livestreaming sites online during the day to see what the eclipse looks like along the line of annularity. If conditions allow, safe solar-filtered telescopes will be set up for viewing, and we will have several stations with other safe viewing devices. Status updates will be posted on the observatory’s X (formerly Twitter) page and GTCC's social media. to 3 p.m., in Parking Lot F on GTCC's Jamestown Campus, weather permitting. As of Friday, 13 Oct., the weather prospects for this session are not favorable. The observatory will host a free public eclipse viewing session on Saturday, 14 Oct., from 11:30 a.m. These eclipses will appear as partial eclipses from the Triad. April 8 will generate much excitement throughout the U.S. When possible, Cline Observatory will hold free public viewing sessions for these events.
