My SOLAR ECLIPSE DAY- 2017 in RVA, USA!

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I found out today that there would be a solar eclipse in a few hours that would be taking place
right here in RVA (Richmond, VA USA).
At 2:44 pm. the moon will cover over 86% of the sun. It would end at 4:04 pm.

The next Partial Solar Eclipse in RVA (Richmond, VA) will be April 8, 2024.
The next partial eclipse in RVA will be on Sept. 14, 2099!
We then set of on a mission to Browns Island, RVA as they
were giving away 600 glasses.

This is one of the bridge to cross to get to Browns Island
in RVA (Richmond, VA). There were a lot of people around enjoying the park.

We didn't get a pair of glasses, as we arrived around 1:30 or so
and people already got to them , lol!

Browns Island is the perfect spot to lay a blanket down and enjoy it!
