Witness the solar eclipse on April 8

By UWM News

Don’t miss your chance to view the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8 — it will be the last one visible in the United States until 2044.

The solar eclipse will reach 90% totality in Milwaukee on April 8, with peak visibility at about 2 p.m. About 90% of the sun will be blocked as the moon passes between the sun and Earth, and the three align.

Weather permitting, view the partial eclipse through eclipse glasses and telescopes outside in Spaights Plaza from 1-3 p.m. Special glasses will be available for safely viewing the eclipse.

Or stop by the UWM Student Union Ballroom to watch a live stream of the total eclipse. Students, employees and members of the public are invited to stop and enjoy enjoy free food, music and activities.
