vision On July 11 1991 at approximately 2:00 noon the moon will pass between the sun and the earth causing a solar eclipse The eclipse will create momentary darkness or partial darkening of the Ted

their eyes These bums known as solar retinopathy or retinal scarring can result in permanent vision loss and even blindness In 1970 (the last year a solar eclipse happened across the eastern United States) 125 cases of eye injury were reported 40 percent of these victims thought they were using safe direct viewing methods and 60 percent looked directly at the sun Any vision 1ms is permanent Most of North South and Central America will experience some portion of the 99 eel ipse However it depends on where you live to determine how much of the sun will be covered by the moon For example in New York only two percent of the sun will be covered by the moon whereas in San Diego California approximately 75 percent of the sun will be covered Here m Utah only about 35 percent of the sun will be this is not covered unfortunately The parade is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a m July 4 at the comer of 2nd South and Mam (Dearden Motors) and will continue up Mam to 1st North where it will turn west

determined to watch the eclipse check with a local astronomical society for a sponsored eclipse watch purchase or use a 14 welders glass or follow this procedure (1) Get two sheets of white cardboard (2) Make a pin hole in the center of one of them (3) Stand with the sun at your back1 (4) With one sheet of cardboard in each hand hold the sheet with the pinhole so that the sun shines through the hole onto the other sheet (5) Adjust the sheets to focus the light (You can change the size of the image by changing the distance bet ween the sheets ) (6) By looking at the bottom sheet you can see an exact image of the sun and its eclipse Wearing sunglasses or using exposed photographic Films or Filters are NOT suitable protection Further binoculars and telescopes will actually magnify and intensify the sun's rays' A solar eclipse can be a fascinating be wise and you won’t expen lose your eyesight For more information contact the Utah Safety Council at or outside Salt Lake metro at The
