Safety protection key to viewing solar eclipse BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — A near total solar eclipse doesn’t occur often, but when it does happen there are safety precautions people must take to prevent eye damage and behold its true beauty. LIBRAR on page 12A Bob Trembley, president of the Warren Astronomical Society, said a solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of the sun. “There can be a partial eclipse. You’ll just see a bite taken out of it and it’ll look like a crescent, a crescent moon almost, but crescent sun,” Trembley said. “But if you’re in the right spot at the right time, the moon can cover the entire face of the sun.”
