Visitors are asked to be familiar with this Preparation Information from Campus Safety (https://www.lclark.edu/live/news/36756-so lar-eclipse-preparation-information-from-campus) and the following detail s: \; Viewing Location Great Plat Field (located in the Fir Acres Estate Gardens\, between the Reflecting Pool and the Outdoor Swimming Poo l). See campus map (/live/image/gid/227/61325_campus-map-2016.rev.1470450 781.jpg) for details. Parking Enter campus at Gate 2 to access Parking Lot E. Use the path going southwest toward Watzek Library. Follow signs t o take the path in between Watzek and the Miller Center for the Humanitie s. Great Plat Field is the grassy lawn below the Reflecting Pool (looking east). \; What to Bring Please learn how to view the solar eclipse safely (https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety) and bring your own eclipse viewing glasses or a hand-held solar viewer. On the day of the eclipse\, viewing glasses will be made available at the Watzek Library service desk on the 2nd floor\, while supplies last. You may also consider bringing a blanket or chair and some water. The Lewis &\; Clark CARE Committee ( https://www.lclark.edu/committees/care/) will supply Moon Pies and Sun Ch ips. Viewing Times At the max\, the eclipse will be 99.56%\, meaning le ss than 1% of the sun will not be covered by the moon.Start time: 9:06am \;(PDT) \;coords: alt = 28 degs\, azimuth = 102 degsMax eclipse : 10:19am \;coords: alt = 40 degs\, azi = 118 degsEnd time: 11:38am coords: alt =50.8 degs\, azi = 141 degs The alt coordinate above is the altitude above the horizon. It goes from 28 degrees to 50 degrees. 45 deg rees is half way from the horizon to zenith (direction straight up). The azimuth coordinate has 0 degrees to the north and then measures towards the east\, so 90 degrees is straight east. So the eclipse will be barely south of east at the beginning\, and then just beyond southeast (which is azi = 135 degs) at the end. \; \; Bathrooms Bathrooms are loc ated in Watzek Library\, the Miller Center for the Humanities\, and in th e bath house adjacent to the outdoor swimming pool. Food Field's Dining Hall in the Templeton Campus Center is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. How t o View the Solar Eclipse Safely The only safe way to look directly at th e eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters\, such as "eclips e glasses" (example shown at right) or hand-held solar viewers. Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses\, even very dark ones\, are not safe for l ooking at the sun\; they transmit thousands of times too much sunlight.
