SUMMARY: Solar eclipses were once seen as bad omens or supernatural events, believed to predict the death of kings. The tracking of solar eclipses dates back to the 4th Century BC, and modern technology allows us to predict them hundreds of years in advance. In a discussion about an upcoming solar eclipse, it is highlighted that eclipses are not omens but natural astronomical events. The guest explains that a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. The importance of using proper eye protection, like special glasses, during a solar eclipse is emphasized, as looking directly at the Sun can cause damage to the eyes. The upcoming solar eclipse is described as a rare and amazing cosmic event that should be enjoyed and appreciated. It is suggested to introduce children to astronomy and science to further appreciate the phenomenon. The next solar eclipse for the area is not expected until 2046. The guest, a chief meteorologist, provides valuable information on how to safely view and appreciate a solar eclipse.

Patrick Moates and guest WDEF Chief Meteorologist Austin Onek, discuss the science of the upcoming solar eclipse and what devices you need to watch and photograph it.
