Exciting news, Indiana residents! On April 8, 2024, a breathtaking solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Indiana, promising a celestial spectacle that shouldn’t be missed. At DeWeese Design Salon Inc., we’re thrilled to share this rare event with our community and provide tips on how to experience it safely and stylishly.
What Is a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking all or part of the sun’s rays from reaching our planet. During a total solar eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun, casting a shadow on Earth and turning day into twilight for a few minutes.
When and Where to See the Solar Eclipse in Indiana
In Indiana, the upcoming solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8th, and will be visible as a partial eclipse from various locations across the state. The peak viewing time will be around 3:00 pm, so mark your calendars and plan to step outside to witness this extraordinary cosmic event.
Safety Tips for Viewing the Solar Eclipse
While observing a solar eclipse is an unforgettable experience, it’s essential to do so safely to protect your eyes from harmful solar radiation. Make sure to use proper eye protection and never look directly into the sun without certified solar viewing glasses. You can also indirectly view the eclipse by making a simple pinhole projector using cardboard or paper to project the sun’s image onto a surface. Or, if you prefer to stay indoors or cannot access proper viewing equipment, many organizations will livestream the eclipse online for safe viewing.
Celebrating the Eclipse in Style
At DeWeese Design Salon Inc., we believe every special occasion deserves to be celebrated in style. Here are a few ways to enhance your solar eclipse experience:
