Share in the Solar Eclipse It’s happening now, and we are taking this opportunity to share in the solar eclipse together. Thanks to our friends from the Harvard University Astronomer, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, we will enjoy it together here in Community, along with hearing from our own members as they experience the eclipse from their front porch or backyard. Those along the pathway of total eclipse are encouraged to join us from a mobile device to provide real-time commentating. We want your personal insight, and we want to share this event together.
