April 8th Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse is coming. This longer than normal eclipse is bringing a storm of excitement for the lower 48. We won’t see this one, but you have plenty of time to get your eclipse viewing supplies ready for the next eclipse that will be visible in Alaska on March 28, 2033.  

Grab your solar eclipse viewing device, semicircular snacks and log in to the Consortium Library to do your research. Learn all about the upcoming eclipse and its trajectory in the journal “Astronomy” April 2024, Vol. 52, Issue 4. You can find the journal in our ProQuest Database. Want to know more about Astronomy? On the main Consortium Library page go to Guides. There is a Topic Guide for Astronomy, which has a link to NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day. Check out the journal “Sky and Telescope” or use one of our databases like “ProQuest Science and Technology” to find out why a solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon or search how to take a good photo of the eclipse with your phone. Read about the “unusual behavior” in animals during an eclipse to plan for your own study in 2033.

Alaska may miss the solar eclipse but we are getting some great northern lights. Check out UAF’s Geophysical Institute Aurora Forecast to find out where and when to see the northern lights.
