Eclipse Guidelines

Posted on by zbowman

The approximate timing for all the distinct phases of the solar eclipse for Loyalsock will be between 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. A more specific timeline released by the Pennsylvania Department of Education is listed below for your review.

The approximate timing for the separate phases of the solar eclipse in Loyalsock is outlined the phases below for your reference:

  • 2:00 PM: Eclipse phase sequence begins.
  • 3:00 PM: Ambient light begins to change as the Moon covers most of the Sun.
  • 3:15 PM – 3:20 PM: Total eclipse phase within the path of totality.
  • 3:20 PM – 4:30 PM: Phases of the solar eclipse play out in reverse.
  • 4:30 PM: Visible eclipse effects conclude.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released safety guidelines for eye safety during a solar eclipse. A few of their safety tips include: It is imperative to use specialized eye protection for solar viewing during a solar eclipse. This includes safe solar viewing glasses or handheld solar viewers compliant with the ISO 12312-2 international standard. Regular sunglasses are not safe for viewing the Sun. Looking at the Sun through eclipse glasses or handheld viewers is essential to prevent serious eye injury. Avoid using camera lenses, telescopes, or binoculars without proper solar filters, as concentrated solar rays can cause severe eye damage. Solar filters must be securely attached to the front of optical devices to ensure safety. Please seek expert advice from an astronomer before using a solar filter with a camera, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device and note that filters must be attached to the front of any optics.

 

The American Automobile Association (AAA)’s safety tips for driving during the solar eclipse include: keeping eyes on the road, keeping headlights on, using the sun visor to block the view of the sun, avoiding wearing eclipse glasses while driving, refraining from photographing or videoing the eclipse while driving, not pulling over on the side of the road to view the eclipse, exiting the roadway and parking safely to observe the eclipse, and being aware of pedestrians who may be looking up at the sky.

  • A link to NASA’s Live Stream Link may be used to track the distinct stages of the eclipse.
  • A link to an Arkansas Children’s Hospital podcast called Solar Eclipse 2024: Expert Guide to Eclipse Safety for Kids may be used to review why eye safety matters during the eclipse.
  • A link to video by NASA Goddard may be used to review the separate ways to safely view a solar eclipse. Please note the part of this video that states “the only time you can look at a total solar eclipse without eye protection is during the brief period of totality when the moon completely covers the sun” does not apply to our area as we will not experience 100% totality.

I have been in contact with the Pennsylvania State Police leadership, and they will continue to provide additional support around our schools next week.

Any and all threats will be investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police.
