New Yorkers are getting ready for today’s total solar eclipse. That’s when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, completely blocking the face of the sun, and we’ll be able to experience it here in Rockland this afternoon. The weather should be good in Haverstraw, where at 2:30 today, Rockland County Executive Ed Day says there’ll be an eclipse viewing party at Haverstraw Bay-Paul Piperato Park …
New York Governor Kathy Hochul expects people from around the country and the world to view the event in Rochester, the Niagara Falls region, and elsewhere across the state…
Several Rockland school districts will be dismissing the kids early or holding viewing parties of their own. Animals may be affected differently by the eclipse, but researchers will be taking the time to study their reactions, so we know better for the next time this happens, here in New York that’ll be in May 2079.
