Sunday Solar Eclipse Visible From National Parks
May 16, 2012 This Sunday there will be a Solar eclipse, and this time most of the National Parks will be able to share in the excitement. Unlike some of years past, it's been a gathering on a hill or great vantage point that people have enjoyed a solar eclipse.
Thirty-three national parks will see the full effect. Many western parks will be offering an array of events for their guests, ranging from placing telescopes out for viewing up to a full-scale astronomy festival, some will feature speakers, or experts to help people understand what they are seeing and enjoy it safely.
