An eclipse worth looking for

Many gather to watch solar eclipse

Posted

Tourists from around the world gathered at the Carl Hayden Visitor’s Center on Monday to watch the eclipse. It was a great day for eclipse watching in Page. Sky watchers enjoyed clear skies during the first half of the eclipse. Clouds heavy enough to obscure the sun and moon moved in shortly after the peak. Below, Sarah Stannard, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area’s dark sky program coordinator, moves through the eclipse-watchers gathered at the Carl Hayden Visitor’s Center on Monday, demonstrating for them the science behind how an eclipse happens.
