RING OF FIRE ECLIPSE, 2-3 p.m. Sept. 2, Clark Pleasant branch of the Johnson County Public Library, 350 Clearwater Blvd., Whiteland
The total solar eclipse taking place on April 8, 2024, gets all of the attention. But prior to that, skywatchers can experience a partial eclipse, known as an annular eclipse, which hits central Indiana on Oct. 14 this year. Eclipse expert Dan McGlaun will be present information on the annular eclipse and what it will look like here. McGlaun is a veteran eclipse chaser, having experienced totality 14 times since his first eclipse in 1991. He operates the website eclipse2024.org, where visitors can see a simulation of what the eclipse will look like from their zip code.
