Planning to watch the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse? The Indiana DNR is selling eclipse viewing glasses approved by the American Astronomical Society.
If you enjoy looking at the sky for a celestial show, you should know that Illinois is getting a chance to see not one, but two lunar eclipses this year. The first one happens this Sunday night, and best of all, at a fairly reasonable hour.
I've shared quite a bit of information about what's happening in Rockford's skies over the last month, and we're not done yet. If you feel like getting up a bit early tomorrow morning, you'll get a look at a solar eclipse.
Staring directly at the sun is never a good idea, during the eclipse, it was worse. The partial darkness made it easier but it was still a very bad idea.
