At the Baldwin Public Library, a solar eclipse viewing party was in full swing on April 8, inviting library patrons to witness the spectacle firsthand.
While parts of northern New York were in the path of totality, experiencing the moon completely obscuring the sun and turning day into night, Long Island, including Baldwin, saw approximately 90 percent coverage of the sun by the moon.
Library attendees were equipped with eclipse glasses, courtesy of the library, ensuring safe observation of the phenomenon. Members were also treated with snacks and music.
According to foxweather.com, the next solar eclipse in New York is anticipated in 2079.
