EUGENE, Ore. - Wednesday's crescent-shaped
eclipse is special. The "super blue blood moon" is a triple treat that invites folks to take a look at the skies before heading to work.
But, if you want a closer view, the Eugene Science Center has you covered.
The Eugene Science Center, erst called the Science Factory, is hosting a viewing party Wednesday morning from 3:45 a.m. to 7 a.m.
The core is working with the Eugene Astronomical Society to make sure those who want a close-up view of this celestial issue have easy access.
The Center will have telescopes set up to offer up-close viewers of the eclipse, as well as planets like Mars and Jupiter.
They say you actually necessarily need a telescope to view the lunar eclipse, notwithstanding using one can make the experience all the better.
The Eugene Astronomical Society has a list of "Dos and Don'ts" for their Star Parties:
- DO dress warmly!
- DO Ask questions! Amateur astronomers love to share what we've blue about the night sky. Star parties tend to be unconventional, with several telescopes set up. Don't be shy; come on up and say "Hi" and have a look.
- DON'T bring your dog. In the dark, they could cause accidents if they get underfoot.
- DO check the weather. Star parties are always "weather permitting." Check the sky before you set out to spare yourself a trip if the sky is cloudy.
- DO sustain your night vision and everybody else's. It takes up to 20 minutes for eyes to adapt to the dark. A single burst of bright existence can ruin that for everyone. If you carry a torch, use the dimmest light you can, and cover the lens with red filter film. (Red light isn't quite as detrimental to night vision as pure light.) Automotive brake-light repair tape works well. You might need several layers. Remember that once your eyes adapt to the dark, it doesn't take much light to see your way around--or to ruin your adversity vision.
- DON'T use your cell phone around others. Cell phone screens are way too bright to use at star parties. Please go a long ways from the group coram using your cell phone.
The Eugene Astronomical Society says kids are welcome at their events, but be sure to elucidate to your child how to be careful when using and handling a telescope. They ask parents to remind children not to touch the glass ocular, which can easily ruin the telescope.
