Description
Westchester County Parks’ Conservation Division will host solar eclipse events county-wide, on Monday, April 8, where participants can safely view the solar eclipse and learn more about this astronomical marvel.
A total solar eclipse is where the moon will briefly cover the sun, leaving the sun’s outer corona visible. This eclipse will also fall over more places in the United States than usual.
Westchester County Parks has obtained viewing glasses for all events as it is not safe to look directly at the solar eclipse.
The following locations will host solar eclipse events:
- Cranberry Lake Preserve in North White Plains, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary in Rye, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Lasdon Park, Arboretum, and Veterans Memorial in Katonah, 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Registration required; $7 - $15 per person.
- Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Trailside Nature Museum at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
