ATLANTA — Although the Peach State won't be in the path of totality when the Great American Solar Eclipse on April 8, we will have a partial eclipse.
At least 80 to 85% of the sun will be blocked as the moon travels between the Earth and the sun, causing the eclipse.
The path of totality will go through Mexico first, then into Texas, the Midwest and then up to the northeast. The path of totality is the prime spot to see when the moon travels between the Earth and the sun.
The college will be hosting a viewing on April 8. It is encouraging the public to bring the proper protective eye wear to attend the viewing event at the college located on University Center Lane in Lawrenceville.
As part of the DeKalb County School District, the Fernbank Science Center will be hosting an event for students, families, staff and stake holders.
Employees and students were each issued the special solar glasses last week. School will be in session remotely from home only rather than in person classes that day. The district decided the closing would allow "for the creation of safe viewing and educational experiences related to the partial solar eclipse..."
Atlantic Station will be holding a viewing party from 1:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Atlantic Green. The public is encouraged to attend. The special sunglasses will be available on a first come first serve basis.
Park officials said during that time there will be activities including hayrides, foam parties, hula hoop competitions, scavenger hunts and more. The activities will start at 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.
On the day of the eclipse, they will have a watch foam party at the pool, eclipse-themed activities and there will be free eclipse glasses to watch the celestial event.
