Solar Eclipse @ Foothill College Observatory

While we won't see the 2024 total eclipse here in the Bay Area, we do have something that's still very special: A partial eclipse of the sun!

Many Peninsula Astronomical Society members have traveled east to see the total eclipse, but a dedicated crew of PAS Foothill telescope operators will be on hand to run our specialized solar and solar-filtered telescopes.

This event is free of charge and open to the public. If many people show up, wait times may be long, and volunteer staff will do their best to ensure everyone gets a look.

If you have approved and safe solar viewing glasses and other gear, feel free to bring it with you, and to enjoy with others.

NOTE: In case of cloudy skies the observatory may not open or may close early.
