Astronomy Presentation: Tuesday, July 11.

Mr. Arghiere, an observer of three total solar eclipses, will share his experiences, including why you should travel
the short distance out of Asheville to see totality. He will discuss how and where to best observe the eclipse safely. What to expect during the brief 2½ minutes of totality, the Sun’s Chromosphere and Corona
(both visible during a total solar eclipse), and the celestial mechanics of how and why total solar eclipses even occur.
5:30-7:00 pm at the West Asheville Library. Open to the public.
