Pluto, 11-years ago was the FIRST solar system object to be designated a Dwarf Planet!
Pretty special.
Our latest view of Pluto is NEAR real color — from 2015.

Tomorrow’s Eclipse Over New Hampshire: At A Glance — Times & Coverage.

It will start at 1:27pm and end at 3:57pm.
So a 2.5 hour show with maximum coverage, i.e., 62%, at 2:45pm.
So we might still be OK. A few clouds shouldn’t be a huge damper.

The LAST Solar Eclipse YOU Saw Over New England Was That Of May 10, 1994.
Click to ENLARGE. From ‘Time and Date’ at: timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/1994-may-10
Click to ENLARGE and read here. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_May_10,_1994
So, if tomorrow, Monday, August 21, 2017 you start wondering as to when you might have seen another Solar Eclipse, over NEW ENGLAND, it would have been on Tuesday, May 10, 1994.
I remember it. I watched it from New Ipswich, New Hampshire. It was NOT a total solar eclipse.
We in New England did NOT see the May 20, 2012 solar eclipse. So, if you hear folks going on about the 2012 eclipse don’t feel bad. It never reached New England.
Again remember what you will be watching is the MOON passing across the face of the Sun. Not some shadow. Got that?

New Hampshire Libraries Out Of Solar Eclipse Glasses For Monday — As Are Stores!

You might still be in luck with some of the other libraries.
Be careful with what you find in local stores. They might not be ‘good‘ (i.e., strong/dark) enough.
Might be getting too late for ordering online. But, you could try.
All the best. The skies over New Hampshire should be CLEAR for Monday’s PARTIAL solar eclipse over New Hampshire.

Weather Still Looking GOOD For August 21, 2017, Solar Eclipse Over New Hampshire.
Click to ENLARGE.
Forecast from wunderground.com.
With just 3-days to go the weather forecast for Monday’s PARTIAL solar eclipse over New Hampshire looks GOOD. Clear skies.
This forecast, this close to the day, is unlikely to change much (we hope). I think the weather will cooperate. So, fingers crossed.
Have you got your Eclipse glasses as yet or are YOU all set with some type of protection. (I can make a joke about that, BUT I will refrain).

August 21, 2017, Solar Eclipse Over New Hampshire: It Will Be Partial With Clear Skies.
Click to ENLARGE.
From ‘timeanddate.com’. Click to ENLARGE and view this snippet here. Visit timeanddate.com for more details.
Tentative 7-day forecast from wunderground.com. This could change. Right now it looks GOOD.
First and foremost, we, in New Hampshire, will NOT see the full total solar eclipse.
The total eclipse is only going to be visible south, southwest and west of us — in places like South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Nebraska, Wyoming etc.
We will ONLY see a partial 62% coverage solar eclipse. But, even that should be fun.
It will start at 1:27pm and end at 3:57pm. So a 2.5 hour show with maximum coverage, i.e., 62%, at 2:45pm.
Right now the weather forecast for Monday, August 21, 2017 calls for clear skies. So that is good — but that can change.
You really should get some proper eclipse glasses for this. I have ordered these from Amazon.
