A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, will be the last one visible from the contiguous United Stated for another 20 years. Although not in “the path of totality,” it will be a sight to behold and not to be missed!

If you don’t feel like joining the big crowds to watch the eclipse, bring a chair and join the Fairfield County Park District at Smeck Park from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Staff will have information about celestial phenomena and a limited number of eclipse-viewing glasses available.
