Bus trip to view eclipse planned

The North Museum of Nature and Science will offer a day trip by bus for eclipse enthusiasts to the SUNY Brockport campus in Brockport, N.Y., on Monday, April 8. The trip will offer the opportunity to view the total solar eclipse within the path of totality.

The single-day, round-trip event will depart the Lancaster Shopping Center, 1515 Lititz Pike, Lancaster, at 5 a.m., returning around midnight. A box lunch, a beverage, and eclipse viewing glasses are included in the fee. Along the way, Richard D. Clark, professor emeritus of meteorology at Millersville University, will present short lectures regarding past eclipses.

Advance reservations are required at http://www.northmuseum.org/eclipse/the-great-American-eclipse.

With clear skies, Lancaster County residents will see a partial version of the eclipse from about 2:06 to 4:34 p.m., peaking at 3:22 p.m., when the sun will be 91% covered by the moon. The last total solar eclipse in the U.S. occurred in 2017, and the next significant eclipse will occur in 2044.
