On April 8, 2024, we will experience a partial solar eclipse in North Carolina. At approximately 3:15 p.m. (depending where in the Triangle you are) there will be around 78% to 80% coverage.
Imagination Station, at 224 Nash Street SE, Wilson, North Carolina, will hold an eclipse viewing event in its pollinator garden from 2:30 to 4 p.m. This is a free event.
Make sure to use look at the sun only if you’re using an approved solar viewer that meets ISO 12312-2 international standards. You can also use a pinhole viewer. Imagination Station will have some viewers on hand, or you can purchase one ahead of time to make sure that you have one. (See below for some suggestions.)
This event is weather dependent.
