IRON MOUNTAIN --The Dickinson County Library is preparing for the annular solar eclipse with an out-of-this world program for all ages from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the library in Iron Mountain.
According to NASA, an annular eclipse occurs on earth when the sun, the moon, and earth line up, either fully or partially. Dickinson County residents will be able to see a partial eclipse.
Dickinson County Library will give out 400 specialized eye protection glasses during the program for patrons to use for the eclipse. These glasses can also be used for the total eclipse on April 8.
The library was able to obtain these glasses through The Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries, or SEAL, program.
Glasses will also be available at the Iron Mountain City Hall or from Sara Wentzel at the Iron Mountain Farmers Market on Saturday.
