SUMMARY:Fort Scott National Historic Site - Solar Eclipse Viewing - 10:30-2pm
DESCRIPTION:Witness the Spectacular and Mysterious Solar Eclipse at Fort Scott NHS\n\n \n\nFORT SCOTT\, Kansas:  In 1918 the sun was out\, then like magic it disappeared behind the moon\, day turned to night and stars were visible in the sky.  This crazy phenomenon was a Total Solar Eclipse which passed just to the south of Fort Scott.  Now 99 years later\, Fort Scott has the opportunity to see a similar total eclipse.  The 2017 Total Solar Eclipse will pass across the continental U.S. and its complete totality will be within 100 miles of Fort Scott.  \n\n \n\nFort Scott National Historic Site invites everyone to experience this momentous occasion with the Rangers on the Fort's parade ground.  Join us on Monday\, August 21st as we watch the sun hide behind the moon.  From 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.\, explore the science behind an eclipse\, create your own eclipse\, earn an Eclipse Junior Ranger Badge\, learn about proper eye safety\, and much more!  You might even consider having a moonlight lunch on the parade ground.\n\n \n\nThe moon will begin blocking the sun about 11:45 a.m. with the eclipse ending around 2:30 p.m. The peak of the eclipse will occur at 1:05 p.m.\, when the sun will be almost completely covered.  A limited supply of free protective eclipse glasses will be available to view the sun during the eclipse. \n\n \n\nNever look directly into the sun\, even during an eclipse.  The sun's rays can cause permanent damage to your eyes.  When viewing the eclipse\, you will need to use special eclipse glasses that have a specific solar filter\; sun glasses will not work.  Also\, do not look through smart phones\, camera\, telescopes\, or binoculars without the proper sun filters. For those not visiting the Fort on August 21st\, or to ensure you will have your own pair\, eclipse glasses can be ordered online from several sources.\n\n \n\nCall the Fort at 620-223-0310 with questions about the event\, or visit eclipse2017.nasa.gov for more information about this eclipse.
