Total solar eclipse: What is it? What to watch for in the heavens LisA DAYLEY smiTh lsmith@uvsj.com
ADAm JACoBs ajacobs@uvsj.com
REXBURG — On Aug. 21 cities across the United States will be blacked out momentarily during the 2017 Great American Eclipse. This is the first time since 1991 that a total solar eclipse will be visible from the United States. During that eclipse, the only state in which viewers could see the blackened sun in was Hawaii. To their disappointment, however, the best views were obstructed by cloudy weather. A total solar eclipse is when the moon’s orbit comes directly between the earth and the sun, blocking out nearly all of the sun’s light for a few minutes in areas that the moon is passing over. According to NASA.gov, “a total solar eclipse is only visible from a small area on Earth. The people who see the total eclipse are in the center of the moon’s shadow when it hits Earth. The sky becomes very dark, as if it were night. For a total eclipse to take place, the sun, moon and Earth must be in a direct line.” The length of a total solar eclipse varies, but in Rexburg it can be seen for a total of two minutes and 17 seconds. The time to view it will be at 11:33 a.m. To witness it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. There will be a total solar eclipse over the east half of the United States in 2024, but it won’t be visible from anywhere past Texas. The next total solar eclipse to cross Idaho won’t be seen until the year 2169. The number of expected visitors to Madison and Fremont counties during that day and the previous weekend will also make for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In a March 2 opinion piece to the Standard Journal by Donna Benfield, a Rexburg City Council member, she said there could be tens of thousands of umbraphiles, or

eclipse chasers, heading to Rexburg, one of the top locations in North America to view the eclipse. Benfield wrote there’s a lot of work to do to prepare for the influx of visitors: “Things we need to consider with a large increase in tourism include EMS locations, hospitals and clinics, first-aid stations, public viewing locations, event maps, parks, air ambulance, off-limit areas, camping locations, parking areas, permits, policing, safety and security, etc.” Along with the predictions of hordes of tourists, rumors are flying about no cell reception, gasoline shortages and the worst traffic the area has ever seen. While it’s sure to be a headache for those in charge of the logistics, the eclipse itself is set to be truly unforgettable.

As the moon obscures the sun during the Great American Eclipse, it will bring with it crescent shadows, shadow bands, temperature changes and special shapes like “Baily’s beads” and diamond rings. Planets may also be visible at the time of totality, but to view the eclipse before and after totality special glasses must be worn to prevent permanent eye damage. The eclipse will take place Monday, Aug. 21, and, according to americaneclipse2017. org, the cosmic event starts over the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. From there it flows across 14 states, plunging portions of those states into darkness for anywhere from seconds to minutes. It’s expected the path of the moon’s shadow will be about 70 miles wide. The eclipse will be visible across the Upper Valley during the morning hours starting around 10 a.m. that day. The Upper Valley, Rexburg in particular, is considered among the best places to view the once-ina-lifetime cosmic event. The website www.2017solar.com reminds eclipse watchers it could get toasty while you’re waiting for the eclipse. “Remember, you’ll be standing around or sitting outside for hours. You may want to bring an umbrella for some welcome shade. And if you see someone who has forgotten sunscreen, please be a peach and share,” it said. The website also recommended bringing something to eat and drink. “A cooler with ice-cold drinks is a great idea,” it suggested. In Rexburg totality starts around 11:33 a.m. and should last about two minutes and 17 seconds. “During totality the sky is a little darker. You’ll see brighter stars and some of the planets nearby. You’ll see Mars and see

How to avoid eye damage while viewing the eclipse
Dr. Thomas Simmons Teton Valley Vision Clinic
I have a theory that the eclipse won’t happen! Because so many people and their vehicles will move to be in the path of the total eclipse, a gravitational shift will occur and alter the rotation of the earth ever so slightly, causing the eclipse not to occur as predicted! In case this theory proves unfounded, it is prudent to prepare for this awesome event. We have experts to coordinate traffic and port-a-potties, and to protect huckleberry bushes from being trampled to death by the mass of humanity (worse than a zombie apocalypse, according to some). The most valuable experts, however, may be those who educate us on how to effectively view the eclipse while avoiding

In this AP file photo taken Wednesday, March 9, 2016, people wearing protective glasses look up at the sun to watch a solar eclipse in Jakarta, Indonesia. Doctors say not to look at the sun without eclipse glasses or other certified filters except during the two minutes or so when the moon completely blots out the sun, called totality. That’s the only time it’s safe to view the eclipse without protection. When totality is ending, then it’s time to put your eclipse glasses back on.
solar retinopathy, and thereby preserving our vision. Solar retinopathy is damage to the retina from direct viewing of the sun. The retina lines the back part of the globe of the eye. It is analogous to the film of a camera, where receptors respond to light. Our detailed vision occurs in the center of the retina known as the fovea, which is a third of a millimeter in diameter. Retinopathy occurs when receptors in the fovea are damaged from prolonged exposure to high-intensity ultraviolet and visible blue -light radiation of the sun. Symptoms can be mild immediately after exposure, with a temporary blind spot or after-image. Severe cases can include light sensitivity, pain around the eye and headache. Retinal cell receptor death can take 24 hours, so visual acuity loss happens the next day. If some vision recovery happens in the first month, full recovery is more likely. About half of those with blindness from solar eclipse gazing eventually recover, with the remainder having a range of permanent visual deficit. That can include a crescent-shaped ghost image visible in dim light. There is no effective treatment. Just prevention. Because it is painful to look directly at the sun, solar retinopathy is not common. Outbreaks happen with partial solar eclipse viewing because the pain is muted and the view is interesting. For example, after an eclipse in the United Kingdom in 1999, 70 cases were reported. Of those, 27 reported viewing the eclipse for less than a minute. Unprotected or improperly protected eyes were reported in all cases. Examples of improper eclipse viewing include looking through sunglasses (polarized or multiple pairs don’t help!), X-ray film, alternating eyes (Radiation still damages when it is "off-and-on") or direct mirror reflection. If thin or hazy clouds are present, they do not block enough solar radiation to serve

Yellowstone and Grand Teton in shadow What impact will the eclipse have on national parks? LisA DAYLEY smiTh lsmith@uvsj.com
With estimates of the people expected in the Upper Valley for the Great American Eclipse in the hundreds of thousands, neighboring national parks anticipate an increase in parks’ populations during the eclipse week of Aug. 21. Grand Teton National Park officials have been planning for the eclipse for about a year and a half. “We expect it to be the busiest day in the park’s history,” Grand Teton National Park Assistant Public Affairs Officer Andrew White said. As a result of that, park officials are not charging an entrance fee that day. That’s all in an effort to help traffic flow smoothly through the facility. “The entrance will be waived on the actual day of eclipse. The entrance stations will still be running. We expect traffic log jams, and it didn’t seem in our best interest to collect fees,” he said. “It will be a fee- free day, but we will be collecting the fee on the other days. In that sense, it’s not a huge loss of revenue for the park.” Andrew says that on Aug. 21 the eclipse will darken the park. “The beginning of the totality is at 11:34 a.m. The partial starts before, and it lasts two minutes and 20 seconds,” he said. “Many people are wanting to be in the narrow band of totality. The park is within that band. You can experience totality pretty much in the whole park.” During eclipse days, all park employees
Andrew says that the 310,000-acre park will be expected at the park. “It will certainly be all hands on deck. has never closed from too many people We’ll have a very large staff to work with visiting at one time. “It’s a big piece of land, and a lot of peovisitors every single day,” he said.

“I think for the most part people are excited, and that’s not just visitors but also for our staff. They’re pretty excited to see the eclipse come to the park,” he said. “It’s going to be interesting, and it’s going to be a challenge.” Andrew says that the park’s staff has been working with various park business owners ensuring they have enough supplies to handle what he describes as an expected “crush of visitation.” “There are a number of concession stands in the park. That includes lodges, campgrounds, restaurants, convenience stores — things like that. I imagine they will be tapped to capacity on and around the eclipse,” he said. An umbraphile first put the park on notice about the eclipse several years ago when inquiring about a backcountry permit. The earliest the parks approved the permits was in January. “That happened a number of times,” Andrew said. While planning for the eclipse, park officials have been working with neighboring counties and relied on an eclipse-planning expert — yes, there is one — to help them manage the event. “Dr. Kate Russo has helped a lot of communities manage for a total solar eclipse. She’s been very helpful in helping us to understand what to expect and what to plan for and things like that,” he said. Russo is a self-described “eclipse chaser” and has authored books on the subject. See NATioNAL PARKS, PAge A10

History of eclipses in East Idaho LisA DAYLEY smiTh
lsmith@uvsj.com
If you miss the impending Great American Eclipse in Idaho on Aug. 21, you’ll have to wait until Dec. 31, 2252, to see the next one. “That one is more likely to be cloudy and cold, and the duration of totality is not quite as long, being only two minutes instead of two minutes and 17 seconds. Of course, only your future grandkids can see it,” says retired astronomy professor Allan Morton. Officials have said that Rexburg residents are lucky to have the solar eclipse happen in their own hometown as people from throughout the world are venturing here to witness it. One reason there’s been such a global fuss over the Aug. 21 eclipse here because the Upper Valley usually experiences relatively good weather that time of year. Rexburg's location also makes it nearly perfect for total eclipse watching conditions. “It’s because of our location, elevation and the chance of not having a cloudy morning. All the national services have ranked us as one of the top spots,” said Rexburg official Scott Johnson, who has overseen much of the city’s planning for the historic event. For Idahoans, it’s the one and only such cosmic event to be experienced during the 21st century, Morton said. “During the 20th Century there were only three total solar eclipses visible in Idaho. They occurred in 1918, 1945 and

1979, but none were total in Rexburg,” he said. Rexburg’s last total solar eclipse happened on New Year’s Day 1889. It apparently didn’t impress anyone here, as in all of Morton’s research, he has never found any information on the event in Rexburg newspaper reports or in personal journals. He’s hopeful someone will find a record in an ancestor’s journal and share it with him. “While no records have yet been found of anyone here observing it, there are a few newspaper reports of a train load of eclipse-watchers coming up from Utah and watching about a minute of totality
in a perfectly clear sky about 20 miles north of Pocatello,” he said. The newspapers told of how planets and stars were visible, and that it got cold. “Some of the Indians on the Reservation in that area thought the end of the world was coming, and they wanted to know how the white man could be so sure the moon would cover the sun on that date,” he said. Just like the Great American Eclipse of 2017, the 1889 was a national event and caused quite a commotion among astronomers. It was reported on from coast to coast. A Geneva New York newspaper told of that eclipse being seen above North America and the Pacific Ocean. “It was total along a tract 80 miles wide, extending from the Aleutian Islands and running centrally through Point Arena, California; Winnemucca, Nevada; and Mountain Meadow, Idaho, terminating about Lake Winnipeg. It was invisible east of a line drawn through New York City and Ogdensburg,” it reported. The Salt Lake City-based Deseret News sent a reporter on that train Morton referred to. The locomotive stopped near Blackfoot for its passengers to witness the cosmic event. The reporter noted a “Perfectly clear sky about 20 miles north of Pocatello.” The reporter said it also got a bit chilly. “There was a drop in temperature on an already cold day. At 2 o’clock, there was the slightest perceptible diminution in the light, for the moon was well
upon the sun’s disc,” the reporter said. “Correspondingly, it grew cooler; the atmosphere was as pleasant as could be desired at the outset, but from that time on it became more and more unpleasant, and the overcoat left behind was longed for in vain.” NASA’s webpage eclipse2017.nasa. gov/temperature-change-during-totality reports that it’s common for temperatures to plunge drastically and suddenly during an eclipse. It wrote that during the Lusaka, Zambia, eclipse of 2001, temperatures dropped 14 degrees. “When sunlight fades at twilight, we always notice how things start to cool down. The same is true for the temporary dimming during a total solar eclipse,” said the webpage. “The moon’s shadow is cool, literally.” The Deseret News reporter sketched much of what he saw, and the cool weather affected his drawing ability. “It was very cold, and one’s fingers were like flakes of ice, though for a short time fingers were not needed, the only sense employed was the eyesight; but after the first stroke of admiration had passed, sketching roughly and with rapidity was begun, of course, only producing crude outlines perfected in accordance with the observer’s memory afterward, the result of which is very well produced by the engraver,” he said. The reporter went on to say that he noted the sun was “going out.” “The filaments of light on (the sun’s) southeastern border being so very narrow that it would be looked upon intently. This lasted but a few seconds, then all at once (it) ‘winked’ two or three times, and a dark, leaden orb, ragged at the edges and fringed all around with the most glorious and glowing aureole, burst upon the vision,” he wrote. “It was such a sudden, complete and magnificent a transformation that the beholder could not have been to otherwise for a moment than completely transfixed, whoever he may have been.” The Deseret News reporter may have witnessed phenomena called “Baily’s Beads” and the creation of the “Diamond Ring” following the eclipse. For more information adout these phenomena see page A1. Brigham Young University Physics Professor Stephen McNeil said such phenomena are created as a result of the moon’s surface not being perfectly smooth and covered with valleys and mountains. Because of this, the last of the sun’s light appears in segments that look like beads. See eCLiPSe HiSToRy, PAge A7 CoUrTESY PhoTo/AllAn MorTon

Eclipse mythology
ThE J. PAUl gETTY MUSEUM/FilE PhoTo
Dionysius the Areopagite Converting the Pagan Philosophers; Antoine Caron. BY Josh FriEsEn For the Journal
The total eclipse on Aug. 21 is probably going to look pretty weird. You’ve no doubt seen pictures of a solar eclipse before, but chances are good you haven’t observed it with your own eyes yet. It’s a safe assumption it’s going to be kind of strange to watch unfold. And that’s OK, because you know exactly what’s happening. The Earth’s moon is passing directly in between our planet and the sun, casting a giant shadow on the Earth’s surface and obscuring daylight for a few minutes. But thousands and thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations all around the world didn’t have science or technology to help them figure out exactly what was happening when their source of heat, light and life started getting swallowed up. Thus mythology, folklore and superstition stepped in. Here are some ways different cultures, religions and societies throughout history interpreted what solar eclipses meant, what they were and why they were happening. • The ancient Chinese believed a massive dragon was eating the sun during a solar eclipse, according to National Geographic. Maybe that’s why it’s no coincidence the Chinese word for eclipse, “shih,” means, “to eat.” • Hindu mythology says the deity Rahu is a severed head that chases the sun. According to Popular Mechanics, Rahu manages to catch the sun every now and then and swallows it. But because Rahu is just a head, the sun reappears a few minutes later. • People in Eastern Europe added a couple of cool stories to solar eclipse folklore. According to the science news website, LiveScience.com, some believed
solar eclipses were actually a type of werewolf they dubbed “vukodlak.” Others spun tales of a vampire that burns his tongue on the sun when he tries to eat it. — Vikings attributed solar eclipses to a sky wolf called Skoll. According to LiveScience.com, the Vikings would try to protect the stolen sun by making a bunch of noise to scare the sky wolf away. When the sun would invariably become visible again, the Vikings probably high-fived each other thinking they rescued it. •º–º A total solar eclipse was seen by folks in England on Aug. 2, 1133. Some thought it was an omen of the death of then King Henry I. When the king kicked the bucket two years later, folks thought the celestial phenomenon meant bad things for whoever was in power. According to the International Business Times, ancient Babylonians went so far as placing substitute kings on the throne during eclipses to protect the actual kings. • A possible account of a solar eclipse can be seen in the Bible. The Book of Mark, the Book of Matthew and the Book of Luke all describe the daytime sky becoming dark during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Luke 23:44-45 says, “Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness all over the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.” • A modern misconception among some about solar eclipses is that they are somehow dangerous to pregnant women and their unborn children, according to National Geographic. Superstitions claim pregnant women who are outside during a solar eclipse run the risk of their babies having physical abnormalities when they’re born. E.C. Krupp, director of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, told National Geographic his office still gets calls regarding pregnant women’s safety during solar eclipses.

Eclipse history from page A5
“It’s just barely showing through. All these little bright spots are being blocked by the mountains,” he said. He also explained that the diamond ring shape that follows results from “The last of the light being able to shine just past the moon through one of the valleys.” The Deseret News reporter may also have witnessed what’s called “prominences,” which appear to be pink flames shooting out from the sun and the sun’s similarly colored “Cchere the sun should be was a bank of the densest darkness, closely surrounded by varying shades of pink, gold and silver in irregular and shifting positions, growing lighter as they reached the outer limit of the corona, while modified protuberances and irregular fingers of flame shot away out into the vasty depths of ether,” he wrote. “Tongue could not describe, pen depict nor pencil portray it. It was simply a grand, glowing, roseate exposition of celestial pyrotechnics, to be appreciated only by being seen.” The reporter added that the solar eclipse was something that everyone should have a chance to witness. “A total solar eclipse is one of the most magnificent and impressive spectacles the eyes of humans beings ever rested upon. It is properly called the crowning glory of the heavens, its awful majesty causing all other celestial phenomena to pale before it,” he wrote. The man added that the incident was “beyond human conception.” “Once beheld (it) will linger so long as memory remains the warder of the brain,” he said. The reporter, at times, waxed poetic. “The feeling of solemnity, not to say reverence, inspired by even an eleventwelfths obscuration is an insignificant sensation compared with that which takes possession of the mind and heart when surrounded by the dense leaden

shades produced by the occultation of our source of light and heat,” he wrote. He noted that he could see Mercury, which “bobbed up serenely” for 30 minutes. The reporter also noticed that the stars were “almost as luminous as Venus.” The reporter said that totality lasted a full minute, and by 4:14 p.m. that day it was over. “The god of the day shone forth as grandly as though his face had never been hidden. The event was over, the occasion past, and there was nothing more to be done but to wait patiently for the first southbound train,” he wrote. In Hailey, the Wood River News-Miner reported in its Jan. 5, 1889, edition that the eclipse occurred around 2 p.m. Just as in the Deseret News report, the Wood River News-Miner wrote that it was a bright and clear day, but that “The air felt chilly” at times. It told of residents using protective smoked glasses to watch the eclipse. “At 2:30 it was pretty near total — only a small strip of the sun being visible. The darkness was like dim twilight,” it reported. The darkness caused some confusion among some fowl. “The chickens and birds commenced seeking their roosts,” it said. While the chickens were confused, the residents enjoyed watching the cosmic event, the newspaper reported. “The weather being perfectly bright and clear, everybody had a chance to get a splendid view of it,” the paper stated. A newspaper in Helena, Montana, also reported that the eclipse occurred on a nice day, and that it caused it to get temporarily cold. “The eclipse was observed here favorably this afternoon. The day was bright, cold and clear. It began at a quarter past two and lasted an hour and a half. The sun was all obscured except a thin crescent at the top. It grew colder and dark,” it reported. In Montana there was also some confusion over what time of day it really was.
“Chickens went to roost, and lamps were lighted indoors,” it reported. The 1889 Total Eclipse wasn’t the first one to happen in Rexburg. Morton cited Eclipse predictions by NASA’s Fred Espenak and Chris O’Byrne that can be found at eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/JLEX/ JLEX-AS.html. According to Espenak’s and O’Byrne’s research Rexburg experienced its first eclipse on June 8, 45 B.C. This eclipse lasted four minutes and 28 seconds. Fast forward to Sept. 15, 182, and Rexburg had an annular eclipse, as it did again on June 4, 243. According to NASA an annular eclipse occurs when the moon is farthest from Earth. “Because the moon is farther away from Earth, it seems smaller and does not block the entire view of the sun,” it said. Another Rexburg total eclipse happened on April 23, 255, and lasted two minutes and three seconds. On Feb. 9, 259 an annular eclipse occurred that lasted six minutes and 27 seconds. It took almost another 500 years for another eclipse that happened on Dec. 18, 716, and lasted four minutes and one second. Four hundred years later, Rexburg had a total eclipse on Feb. 27, 1104. Sixty-one years later on Nov. 5, 1165, the community experienced an annular eclipse that last just over four minutes. Fast forward to March 10, 1225, another annular eclipse lasted three minutes and three seconds. Nearly 200 years later on Jan 12, 1404, a total eclipse occurred here and lasted four minutes and 56 seconds. Another total eclipse occurred again 20 years later on June 26, 1424 and went on for just one minute and 26 seconds. The heavens provided yet another annular eclipse on April 16, 1455, that lasted three minutes and 24 seconds. It took almost 400 years for another such eclipse, ehich happened on Oct. 19, 1865, lasting five minutes and 20 seconds. Just a few short years later on July 29, 1878, a total eclipse occurred, lasting just one
minute and two seconds. Eleven years after that, and on New Years Day 1889, Rexburg experienced its most recent total solar eclipse, which continued for one minute and 35 seconds. NASA predicts that after the Aug. 21 eclipse, Rexburg will experience a series of eclipses — eventually. An annular one will happen on March 10, 2100, a total eclipse on Dec. 31, 2252, another total eclipse on May 17, 2256, an annular eclipse on Oct. 14, 2395, a total eclipse on March 29, 2397, and another total eclipse on May 1, 2451. There will be yet more eclipses further in the future. This translates into 12 total eclipses and 10 annular eclipses during 2,600 years. A total eclipse in Rexburg is expected to occur every 217 years, with annular eclipses during this time to happen one every 260 years, according to NASA. Because of this, Morton says that no Rexburg resident should miss watching this months Total Solar Eclipse. However, if residents miss this one, there will be others. “In case you cannot be in Rexburg this Aug. 21, there is still some hope that you can see a total eclipse in your lifetime, but you will have to be willing to travel some,” he said. The next total eclipse will happen April 8, 2024, and will be visible in Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York and New England. Another one will take place Aug. 23, 2044, and be seen in North Dakota, Montana and Canada. The following year on Aug, 12, a total eclipse will be visible in California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and five southern states. “In case you cannot wait for these eclipses, the next total solar eclipse anywhere in the world will be in South America in Chile and Argentina on July 2, 2019,” he said. In the meantime, Morton says that an eclipse proves an exciting heavenly event. “It’s one of the most awesome things you could ever see in the sky,” he said.

There’s a lot to be said about the communities in the Upper Snake River Valley. Local residents are known to be friendly, welcoming, and helpful in any way that eclipse visitors might need. City officials are a quick phone call away, and opportunities for recreation abound. Local laws help keep the tranquility of the area. Rexburg Police Captain Randy Lewis says that it’s essential for visitors to be informed about what’s OK and not OK in Rexburg. “Our main concern is traffic congestion, trespassing on people’s property, and lost children,” Lewis said. There are several laws that visitors should be aware of. According to city code, open containers of alcohol and smoking are not allowed in Rexburg’s city parks. No fires can be burned outside of designated fire pits and BBQ grills. No overnight sleeping and no water fights are allowed. Carving initials into trees or spraying graffiti is also illegal. Breaking any of these laws can result in a misdemeanor. Lewis said that every park in Rexburg will have a police substation at it to assist visitors with safety needs and to help maintain peace during the eclipse weekend. “We’ll help all we can,” he said. Trespassing on private property is a real concern for Lewis. He said residents have the right to “police their own parking lots and property, not us.” Visitors should be especially careful to avoid places with “No Trespassing” signs. Trespassers will be charged with a misdemeanor if caught. Pedestrian safety is also important. When walking around the local streets, remember to stay on sidewalks and in official crosswalk zones. Jaywalking is prohibited, and violators can be fined up to $76.50. For cyclists, make sure to yield to vehicles. Riding on sidewalks is generally allowed, with the exception of signs that prohibit it or when a pedestrian is using the sidewalk. However, cyclists must always yield to pedestrians. If riding at night, you must have a light on your bicycle that illuminates the roadway at least 500 feet in front of the bicycle. For those traveling on state highways, including Highway 20 and Highway 33 in Rexburg, driving responsibly will be key to preventing accidents and assisting traffic flow. Lieutenant Chris Weadick of the Idaho State Police, which will be patrolling local highways, said aggressive driving would not be tolerated. “Aggressive driving is speeding, cutting people off and not allowing proper following distance,” he said. Weadick also cited distracted driving and seatbelt use as things that drivers need to be sure to pay attention to. “If our troopers see that kind of stuff, they will pull them over,” he said. “Our priority is safety.” In addition, Weadick says to avoid pulling over onto the shoulder of the highway, even if it means missing out on witnessing the eclipse. “I’m very concerned about parking on the shoulder, on the roadway and in grass areas to view the eclipse,” he said. “This can possibly cause a fire. When this (eclipse) happens, you’re stopping whatever it is you’re doing to watch this thing unfold, and if you’re stuck in traffic because you didn’t plan ahead, you’re going to be tempted to stop right where you’re at, and chances are you’ll stop on the side of the road, and that’s what we’re really discouraging. It could really have catastrophic results.” A few more restrictions: There is an active burn ban in all areas outside of Rigby, Rexburg, Sugar City, St. Anthony and Ashton city limits. Fires of any kind are not allowed. Remember to obey all local laws, and think before doing anything that might affect someone else’s eclipse experience. For more information about how you and your party can have a safe eclipse viewing experience, contact local law enforcement through the information provided in this issue. You can also follow the Idaho State Police on twitter @ ispeasternidaho for highway traffic and safety updates.

“She is one of the very few eclipse chasers worldwide who has experienced a total solar eclipse in her own home community (Australia) and knows firsthand the challenges involved in preparing a community for the total eclipse,” according to her website. She helped with eclipse planning for the 2012 Australian eclipse and the 2015 Faroe Islands eclipse. Russo also wrote a “Community Eclipse Planning” paper used by numerous U.S. communities to prepare for the upcoming August Eclipse. “Kate is the recognized authority on the total solar eclipse experience and is the person who is most able to answer the key question, ‘What is it like to experience a total solar eclipse?’” according to her website. According to Russo that experience is out of this world. “A total eclipse allows you to experience the three-dimensional nature of the universe — the sun, the moon and earth are all in perfect alignment, and you are standing in the shadow of our magnificent moon. The scale is unimaginable, yet here it is happening right on top of you and around you,” she said.
Russo says that while watching the eclipse, a person feels “the ominous shadow” right before it arrives. The temperature drops while the wind picks up speed. As the sunlight disappears, an “Eerie twilight produces colors with shades rarely seen in the natural world.” Shortly afterward the sky gets very dark, and the moon casts a shadow. “Then — totality. In this moment there is just you and the universe,” she said. Andrew said surrounding communities shouldn’t be too worried about the crowds if they’re prepared for them. The Great American Eclipse should, instead, be something to look forward to. “Invite them to embrace it as total community event. Instead of thinking of it as something that’s imposed upon you, think of it as an opportunity to welcome the world to your community,” he said. Andrew suggested that businesses, nonprofits, churches and Boy Scout groups use the event as a great way to make some money off visiting crowds. “If you get creative about it, there are certainly some good fundraising opportunities,” he said. “With that kind of an event, think of how your community can effectively manage the eclipse into somewhat more of an opportunity.” Andrew expected that about 40 percent of those accessing Teton National Park
will be driving from Yellowstone National Park. Meanwhile back at Yellowstone, officials say that the eclipse will start around 10:15 a.m. and will continue until 1 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 21. The total eclipse begins around 11:35 a.m. and will last for approximately two minutes. The park’s website reports that visitors may enjoy much of the eclipse while visiting Yellowstone. “Yellowstone National Park is located just north of totality, yet visitors will still experience 96-99 percent of a total eclipse — a stunning midday darkness as the moon moves in front of the sun. However, the sun’s corona will not be visible, as that is only visible where there is a total eclipse,” it reported. Park rangers will be out and about talking to visitors about the eclipse, but no special programs are planned for the event. Instead, officials anticipate eclipse day to be another very active one at the park. They will also charge their normal entry fee of $30 per car. “We are expecting it to be summer in Yellowstone, which is always busy,” said Jonathan Schafer, Yellowstone National Park public affairs assistant. Schafer said that last year a recordbreaking 4.25 million people visited the park.
“We did our planning for this summer with that in mind. We’re planning for a busy season all around and not just centering on the eclipse,” he said. Schafer says he’s not aware of a time when the park closed because there were too many people visiting due to a major event like the eclipse. Yellowstone Park encompasses 2,219,789 acres and is about 3,400 miles long. “The National Park Service is committed to providing access to visitors while also preserving this place. We’re not planning on limiting visitation,” he said. Schafer says he has no idea how many people will visit the park specifically to witness the eclipse. “I wish I could look into my crystal ball. It’s impossible to predict. It may well be quite busy, but quantifying how busy — that’s kind of impossible,” he said. Despite that, Schafer says the park is well-equipped to handle a massive increase. “We’ll be ready to have them,” he said.

Avoid eye damage
found at eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety, using undamaged solar filters, like in eclipse glasses certified by ISO, allow safe direct solar viewing. Remember that it is important, for you and your children, to put the eclipse glasses on first and then look! They also approve removing solar filters during the approximately 2 minutes of totality. This eclipse is expected to be the most viewed in human history. With those numbers some cases of solar retinopathy are bound to happen. Please avoid the folly. Don’t let the price of a single thrilling visual experience be reduced vision for the rest of your life!
from page A2
A warning on glasses for viewing the solar eclipse warns not to look at the sun without special eye protection.
Eye Safety Don’t forget to pick up a pair of eclipse glasses before heading into the backcountry. Do not attempt to observe the partial or annular phases of any eclipse with the naked eye. Failure to use appropriate filtration may result in permanent eye damage or blindness!
glasses, or that totality offers safe eclipse viewing. The common method for indirect viewing is the pinhole method. To make a pinhole viewer, make a tiny hole in a sheet of paper or cardboard using a pin or a thumbtack. With your back towards the Sun, hold the pinhole up allowing the Sun to shine through onto the ground or a cardboard screen. According to a joint statement by astronomical, science and eye doctor boards
Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Now in effect! Fires or Charcoal
Prohibited: Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire in undeveloped areas. Exceptions: Persons using a fire, campfire, or stove fire in a developed campground and recreation site in agency provided fire structures.
Smoking
Prohibited: Smoking outside an enclosed
vehicle or building. Exceptions: You can smoke while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials.
Prohibited
Fireworks and exploding Targets
Actions Matter!
Fire Prevention Tips Tip#1: Keep your vehicle maintained, mufflers secure, tires inspected and safety chains crossed and off the ground. One spark from dragging metal can cause a wildfire. Tip#2: Don’t drive or park on dry grass! Vehicle exhaust systems can reach up to 1,000 degrees and can easily start a wildfire in tall dry grasses.
Annually, about half of all wildfires in Idaho are started by humans. As we move through the fire season please continue to be careful with fire while enjoying all that the Idaho outdoors has to offer.

scratched or damaged. Another way to effectively experience the eclipse is to use pinhole projection. Doing so allows you to avoid looking directly at the eclipse altogether. A pinhole projector is made with two sheets of paper, one with a tiny hole in it. To use a pinhole projector, hold the sheets of paper one behind another pointing in the direction of the sun, with the pinhole sheet in front. “Keep in mind not to look through the pinhole at the sun,” Prevent Blindness warned. Prevent Blindness said the best way to avoid any kind of eye damage is to view the eclipse on television or at a planetarium. The eclipse is to be enjoyed and remembered. It shouldn’t be remembered as a day when vision was damaged, Prevent Blindness notes. “Please take the time to learn about the dangers to your vision and how to protect your eyes from injury during the eclipse,” the organization advises. McNeil says that the Great American Eclipse is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and shouldn’t be missed. “I would say it’s a very rare celestial event. People who don’t take the opportunity to see it now may never see it again,” he said. “You can say ‘I went and saw this deal that only happens very rarely.’ It’s an unique experience — an out-of-the-ordinary event.” McNeil says the next total eclipse will occur in 2024 and will flow from Texas to Maine. The next one in Idaho may not happen here for another 200 years, he said. The eclipse makes the physics department staff and students at BYU-Idaho feel like kids in a candy store, McNeil said. McNeil has received calls from people from throughout the world wanting information. As a result, BYU-Idaho has planned various lectures on the subject during eclipse week. For a list of those events, see page A4. They have also planned a series of experiments.

diamond ring after totality is sometimes said to be more dramatic as the blinding light from the sun returns,” the website reports. Immediately following the diamond ring after totality, the sun produces what are called “prominences.” “They form these arches on the edge of the sun,” McNeil said. The website www.2017solar.com reports that the prominences look like coral-colored flames. “They will appear as pink, fiery features extending out from the black disk of the moon. They are actually giant gaseous extensions from the sun. How many you will see will depend on how active the sun is at the time of the eclipse,” it reported. Following the prominences, the sun’s chromosphere may be briefly seen. “This shows as a pink layer very close to the black disk but quickly hides from view as totality progresses,” according to the website. “The chromosphere is a thick layer of mainly hydrogen gas in the sun’s atmosphere.” McNeil said that the chromosphere and the prominences will be difficult to see even with eclipse glasses. “They need to be seen though special devices or a special camera,” he said. About an hour before the total eclipse, viewers may feel the temperature suddenly drop, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket. NASA reports that when an eclipse occurred in Lusaka, Zambia, in 2001, the temperature plummeted nearly 14 degrees. “The moon’s shadow is cool, literally,” NASA’s website reports. During totality the moon’s shadow flows across the ground at speeds estimated up to 1,000 miles per hour from west to east. The longer totality lasts, the larger the shadow and the darker it gets, according to www.2017solar.com. “The shadow never really tends to have a defining sharp edge. Sometimes the shadow cannot even be seen, and the sky just seems to darken,” according to the website. At that time, full totality commences. “It gets noticeably dark. The stars are out during the day. You see a sunset all around you. It’s just not over on the horizon — it’s everywhere. I’ve heard it’s kind of spectacular for those couple of minutes,” McNeil said. “People can actually take their glasses off during totality.” Yet those glasses are needed for the majority of the eclipse. Attempting to watch the eclipse without protective eyewear could result in severe damage to the pupils and possible blindness. Filtered eyeglasses are needed when viewing the eclipse. Cameras also need some type of device to record the event, just like human eyes do, or the eclipse can quickly destroy a camera’s sensor, according to bhphotovideo.com. “Do not point a camera at the sun unless the optics are fitted with a certified solar filter. Optics can magnify the intensity and brightness of sunlight, and this can cause damage to your equipment,” the website reported. “Do not point an unfiltered digital camera at the sun and use live view or an electronic
viewfinder, due to the possibility of focusing concentrated, unfiltered sunlight at your camera’s sensor.” Looking at an eclipse with the naked eye can do as much damage to the pupil as it does to a camera’s sensor. “This exposure to the light can cause damage or even destroy cells in the retina (the back of the eye) that transmit what you see to the brain. This damage can be temporary or permanent and occurs with no pain. It can take a few hours to a few days after viewing the solar eclipse to realize the damage that has occurred,” according to the Prevent Blindness organization’s website, preventblindness.org. That subsequent eye damage may result in a loss of central vision, distorted vision and/or altered color vision. Should this happen, Prevent Blindness suggests a quick trip to the eye doctor. Prevent Blindness says that the only way to safely watch a solar eclipse is with Mylar filters. The organization says to avoid using Mylar filters that are

Saturn just rising,” said Stephen McNeil, a physics instructor at Brigham Young University-Idaho. McNeil said that when the moon is partially eclipsing the sun and creating a crescent shape, objects that break up the light create crescent-shaped shadows. “Trees have all these little openings, and the light that gets through behaves like a pinhole camera by projecting the light,” he said. According to americaneclipse2017. org these crescent shadows drain color from the landscape. “Anything that can cast a shadow while allowing small amounts of sunlight to peer through can create this effect. Trees tend to be good at showing this off quite nicely,” the website reads. NASA reports another phenomenon referred to as “shadow bands.” The bands are thin, alternating light and dark wavy lines. “(They) can be seen moving and undulating in parallel on plain-colored surfaces immediately before and after a total solar eclipse. Shadow bands have been noted throughout history,” according to eclipse2017.nasa.gov. McNeil says what causes shadow bands is a mystery. “I’ve heard different theories that they have something to do with the light coming through our atmosphere. I haven’t heard anything conclusive yet,” he said. While scientists don’t know what causes shadow bands, the phenomena have been reported at various eclipses during the past century. “Because shadow bands are unpredictable from eclipse to eclipse, there does not seem to be a firm connection with relatively fixed circumstances of an eclipse,” according to NASA’s website. NASA reports it may have something to do with the reason why stars twinkle. “In the upper atmosphere there are turbulent cells of air that act like lenses to focus and de-focus the sharp-edged light from the solar surface just before totality,” NASA reported. “The movement of these atmospheric cells is random between each eclipse and each viewing location, so the appearance and movement of shadow bands cannot be predicted beforehand.” The shadow bands usually last less than 60 seconds and normally “after the slim crescent of the solar surface appears and vanishes.” It’s possible to capture the bands by setting up white poster board and using it as a screen to film the action as it happens, NASA said. “Also on the screen, draw a line pointed in the direction of the eclipsing sun during totality and a line directed North-South and East-West,” the organization advised. The total eclipse also creates what are called “Baily’s beads.” Astronomy.org reports that these beads, just like the shadow bands, have been seen during previous eclipses. “Shortly before second contact of a total eclipse, the opposing horns of the slender crescent sun begin to converge on one another. At the same time, the tenuous solar atmosphere becomes visible against the darkening sky, shining out around the edge of the moon where the sun has already been covered,” the website explained. McNeil says that because the moon isn’t perfectly smooth and is covered with valleys and mountains, the last of the sun’s light appears in segments that look like beads. “It’s just barely showing through. All these little bright spots are being blocked by the mountains,” he said. From here the stellar diamond ring forms. “That’s the last of the light being able to shine just past the moon through one of the valleys,” he said. According to www.2017solar.com, this produces some of the brightest light of the eclipse. “This beautiful sight is witnessed during the last few seconds before totality and the few seconds after totality.

Question submitted by Elizabeth Cheshire of Tuscaloosa and Packsaddle Estates In Teton Valley we’re in the perfect place to truly appreciate the solar eclipse and some people might have the desire to create a lasting image of the experience. The Teton Valley News reached out to photographer Todd Vorenkamp, who is the senior creative content writer for B&H Photo in New York City, to better understand whether it’s safe or smart to try and photograph the eclipse. The most important thing to remember is safety. Do not look at the sun without solar viewing glasses. (Sunglasses don’t count.) You can sustain permanent damage to your eyesight or even go blind. This also applies to your camera. “Protect your eyes and your camera gear,” said Vorenkamp. “Use only certified solar glasses for your eyes and proper solar filters for your camera lens.” Don’t look through the viewfinder of an unfiltered camera. Without a filter you can damage your equipment as well as your eyes. “Unless you are using a metal or Mylar-type solar lens filter, do not use your optical viewfinder on your camera—use only Live View on the LCD or an Electronic Viewfinder,” said Vorenkamp. “If in doubt, do not look through the optical viewfinder.” It’s also very important not to use your flash. Every online resource emphasizes this: you will ruin others’ enjoyment of the experience by using flash. “No matter how powerful your camera flash is, you will not illuminate the moon’s surface during the eclipse,” said Vorenkamp. “What it will do is bother everyone standing near you viewing the eclipse. Turn it off!” As far as smartphones go, you’re better off just watching the eclipse instead
of trying to capture it with an inadequate camera. "Yes, a solar filter will allow your smartphone to photograph the sun in a way that the sun does not just appear as a large white area of the sky,” Vorenkamp explained. “However, the sun will be very small in a smartphone image, and smartphones are not great in low light, so, your results during totality might be disappointing. I would also discourage zooming with your smartphone, as it is a digital zoom—not optical. My guess is that millions of people are going to photograph this event on their smartphones and walk away wishing they had a longer lens, or ‘real camera.’" Aaron Linsdau, who wrote the “Idaho Total Eclipse Guide,” will give a presentation on Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Driggs Senior Center about how a total solar eclipse happens, viewing locations in Idaho, what to expect, and how to photograph it. If you do have the gear and know-how to document this once in a lifetime experience, there are ample resources at www. bhphotovideo.com/eclipse and other places online to help you perfect your process. And just remember, you only have two minutes twenty seconds. “Prioritize viewing the eclipse over photographing it,” said Vorenkamp. “You do not want to miss the total eclipse because you are fighting with your camera, nor do you want to spend the entire show viewing it through the camera. I plan on putting my camera gear as close to autopilot as I can while I view the eclipse with my protected eyes and through solar-filtered binoculars." For those who do wish to create art, writing, or photography of the eclipse, Teton Arts and Valley of the Tetons Library will sponsor an eclipse exhibit from Sept. 22 to Oct. 13 at the Teton Arts Gallery in the Driggs City Center, so plan ahead and submit something to showcase this unique experience.
BLM urges caution, wildfire prevention during solar eclipse Bureau of land Management press release
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — The allure of a solar eclipse will attract many visitors to Idaho during the driest time of the year. This influx of visitors into fire-prone public lands within the eclipse’s path of totality could result in an increase of humancaused fire starts, while making it harder for fire personnel to suppress these wildfires. The Bureau of Land Management is taking preventive steps to educate residents and eclipse chasers about this concern. “While the eclipse lasts for minutes, many people will be recreating for days before and after the event,” said Kevin Conran, fire mitigation and education manager with the BLM Idaho Falls District. “We want to ensure that thousands of Idahoans and visitors have a positive and enjoyable experience while keeping wildfire safety in mind.” Residents will notice an increase in
prevention messaging along Idaho’s major roadways in effort to reduce humancaused wildfires. The Idaho Falls District has also established a prevention and education team who will launch a community outreach campaign targeting other wildfire causes, including fireworks and sky lanterns, campfires, parking on dry grass and dragging trailer chains. The team is made up of skilled personnel who will support ongoing local wildfire prevention and education activities in areas where human-caused fire occurrence or risk is elevated. The campaign’s goal is to change behavior, teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for reducing wildfire risks. For tips on wildland fire prevention and community preparedness, visit www.idahofirewise.org or fireadapted.org. For information about national wildlife outlooks for 2017, including for Idaho, visit www.predictiveservices.nifc.gov/outlooks/monthly_seasonal_outlook.pdf.
FirE PrEVEnTion AnD sAFETY You can do your part to make it a fire safe experience by following these tips: 1. keep your vehicle maintained, and check to make sure trailer chains are not dragging. 2. Drown your campfire with water, stir and make sure it’s cold before leaving. never leave a campfire unattended. 3. Don’t park or drive on dry grass; drive on paved roads, and park in areas clear of vegetation. 4. no fireworks please; they are prohibited on public land.
if you see a fire, call 911.
