In Oct. 2023 and April 2024 two spectacular eclipses of the sun will cross the US. Every state will see a partial eclipse, and over 30 million people are in the path of the total eclipse. Your school and community will be very thankful if you organize safe eclipse watching. At the same time, if you plan, this can be a great fundraiser, if you make safe eclipse-watching glasses available.My small campus museum made $10,000 each of the last two American eclipses, by announcing to our community that we had glasses and information about eclipse viewing. For one eclipse, we got the stands of the football field open for us, and 10,000 people attended! (see the photo) As a veteran of 12 total eclipses since 1970, Dr. Duncan is an expert on eclipse logistics, planning, and science.
