Total Solar Eclipse 2024: A Bristol Hills Event of the Century

  • Bristol Library 6750 County Road 32 Canandaigua, NY, 14424 United States (map)

It’s been 99 years since a total solar eclipse plunged the Bristol Hills into absolute darkness, and it will be another 120 years before it happens here again. Get ready for this once-in-a-lifetime experience with an expert guide, NASA “ambassador” James Porter, two weeks before the April 8 eclipse. Hear from this veteran spacecraft engineer what to expect, why our region will find itself in such a narrow band of total darkness as it crosses North America, and how to view it safely. Attendees receive free eclipse glasses — a safety must for viewing the sun as it disappears behind the moon. Co-sponsored by the Bristol Library and Bristol Hills Historical Society. Because of the high level of interest in this program at the library, the library requires you to register to attend. Go here to register.
