Watching total solar eclipse an “awesome” experience, says local astronomy club member

A total solar eclipse will pass over Northumberland County on April 8. Residents will experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch this unique phenomenon. The last one occurred nearly 400 years ago, and it will be another 400 years before it happens again. In this interview, Rick Stankiewicz, publicity director for the Peterborough Astronomical Association, will explain a total solar eclipse. He will also explain where it will take place and how to watch it safely. As someone who has watched a total solar eclipse before, he says it will be an awesome experience.
